Climate Hawks Vote is delighted to endorse Morgan Carroll in Colorado’s Sixth Congressional District, challenging the climate-denying, Koch-backed incumbent Mike Coffman. Morgan is a climate hawk and a fifth generation Coloradoan.
While the carbon-billionaire Koch brothers and their lackeys slash jobs and destroy the environment, Morgan creates jobs that save the climate. In the Colorado State Senate, she wrote the bill that brought solar leasing to Colorado. Because of Morgan’s work, Sunrun, Sungevity, and Solar City all opened up shop - and created jobs - in Colorado. She’s fighting frackers, too. She ran tough bills through the state Senate, and she’ll be standing up for Colorado’s two anti-fracking ballot initiatives this fall.
Her race, in the eastern Denver suburbs, is one of the most competitive in the country— President Obama beat Mitt Romney by one point in 2012. And it’s the kind of race Democrats need to win if they’re going to flip the House.
This week, Carroll’s opponent made news with an ad promising to stand up to Donald Trump. What he neglected to say: the Koch brothers told him what to say! The Kochs are so worried that they’re spending six figures to attack Morgan, through their Americans For Prosperity PAC. Colorado’s Sixth District is the only House district, so far, where the Kochs are openly backing a House incumbent.
Speaking of the House… most pundits have considered the Republican advantage in the House to be too big to overcome. But the Trump fiasco means all bets are off. Democrats can take back the House - and Climate Hawks Vote wants to put climate hawks in those flippable House seats.
Can you help take out a Koch-fueled climate denier and send Morgan to Congress?
Yes, I can chip in $6 to help elect climate hawk Morgan Carroll and take back the House of Representatives.
