The election has been called a Blue Wave Election for Colorado. But Colorado and the nation need more than a Blue Wave. Colorado and the nation need a Blue Tide -- a Blue Tide that raises all Coloradoans – rural and urban; blue collar and white collar; native and immigrant of every ethnicity.
Colorado’s Blue Wave of 2018 was inspiring and hopeful. We have seen solid progressive changes as a result of Colorado Democrats having turned our once red state from deep purple, to BLUE. In just the last few months, the Democratic-controlled Legislature has advanced a reasonable and responsible Red Flag (firearm) Law will work to protect all Coloradoans. The Legislature has ensured that public health and safety are the top priority for oil and gas drilling and local perspectives are included in future development. And the Legislature has brought Colorado into the national popular vote compact.
Much needed progress done responsibly. The time has come to put a Coloradoan in the US Senate who shares the values of Coloradoans. To this end we have a significant challenge. We need to make certain that Cory Gardner, a Trump endorser and enabler is a one-term Senator. The good news is that Colorado has Andrew Romanoff to lead us through this challenge.
Andrew Romanoff has the track record to do the job. He is not just a former Colorado Legislators, but concluded his Legislative service as the Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives. He was one of the first in the nation to EVER run a campaign without corporate PAC contributions. That’s courageous leadership.
Andrew has consistently worked for progressive policies at both the state and federal level. He was an early backer of Medicare for All legislation. He understands that healthcare should not be a for-profit industry driven by corporate profit incentives. He understands that prescription drug should not be profitable products to be sold in a market place. Rather they are life saving and life giving tools that must be available and AFFORDABLE by all Americans.
Unlike Gardner, an oil and gas industry “yes-man”, Andrew understands that carbon emissions are rising to catastrophic levels. That’s why he believes American needs to develop an ambitious Green New Deal. One that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create high-paying green jobs, and tackle the inequality in our country that has produced stagnant wages and an economy that isn’t working for everyone.
Andrew Romanoff is committed to working make certain the American Dream works for all Americans.
Coloradoans deserve a US Senator who stands with the American people, not those who put personal gain over and above the well-being, security aspirations of the people.
So Colorado Daily Kos readers: Spread the word across the state from Julesburg to Burlington to Walsh to Trinidad, to Cortez, to Fruita to Dinosaur, to Walden and Raymer – Andrew Romanoff is the man to represent Colorado in the US Senate.
