As Michael Closes with a Forward-Looking Agenda, Phil Weiser Ends Campaign Focused on Attacking Bennet
DENVER, CO — Today, Bennet for Governor released a new television ad highlighting Michael Bennet’s positive vision for Colorado and making his closing argument to voters ahead of Election Day. The ad is part of a 7-figure ad buy running through the June 30 primary.
While Phil Weiser and his campaign spend the final days of the race launching increasingly desperate, misleading attacks, Michael is focused on what matters most: ensuring Donald Trump never defines Colorado’s future and delivering bold solutions to the challenges facing Colorado families.
The ad underscores the clear difference that voters are seeing in this race. Michael is running to reject the status quo, make tough decisions, and deliver real results on the issues driving Colorado’s cost-of-living crisis. His agenda includes lowering health care costs through a public option, making housing more affordable, and holding polluters accountable, all while ensuring Trump never defines our future. Phil Weiser is offering more of the same policies that have helped make Colorado the third most expensive state in America.
“Coloradans are seeing a clear contrast in this race,” said Jordan Fuja, spokesperson for Bennet for Governor. “Michael Bennet has spent this campaign talking about the future — how to lower costs, expand opportunity, and stand up to Donald Trump. Phil Weiser has spent this race focused almost entirely on attacking Michael because he has failed to offer voters a compelling vision of his own.”
Throughout the campaign, Michael has not aired one television ad attacking his opponent, choosing instead to focus his communication to voters on his plans to address the challenges facing Colorado families and build a stronger future for the state. Conversely, Phil Weiser is running the most negative Democratic gubernatorial campaign in Colorado history. The Weiser campaign itself has spent more than $1 million on negative television and digital ads attacking Michael.
Read the ad’s full transcript:
People ask me why I’m running for Governor. My answer? Because I’m not willing to allow Donald Trump to define Colorado’s future.
That means using every tool we have to stop him.
But it also means being bold.
Creating a public health insurance option to lower the cost of healthcare.
Taking on corporations to make housing more affordable.
And holding polluters accountable.
I’m Michael Bennet, I’m asking for your vote.
Together we can stand up to Donald Trump and build a better future for Colorado.
