DENVER, CO – Tonight’s Colorado Gubernatorial debate made clear that there is a real difference between Michael Bennet and Phil Weiser: Michael Bennet has the leadership, backbone, and vision to change the status quo and tackle Colorado’s toughest challenges.
“Tonight, Michael Bennet showed that he is the only candidate in this race with the vision to deliver real results for working Coloradans,” said Bennet for Governor Campaign Manager Nellie Moran. “Colorado doesn’t need more of the same status quo, more studies, or more commissions that Phil Weiser is offering. They deserve a Governor who will not just take on Trump, but address the cost-of-living crisis, make the tough decisions this moment demands, and build a better future for our state. That leader is Michael Bennet.”
Coloradans deserve a governor who is clear, consistent, and willing to make the hard calls. Michael has led organizations through crises, balanced budgets, and delivered real results. He’s running because Colorado deserves a governor who will take responsibility, make the tough choices, and move our state forward with a clear plan to tackle Colorado’s biggest challenges. And he was the only candidate on stage tonight to present a clear vision and real actions to take on the issues that are important to Coloradans.
This election comes down to a simple choice: someone who calculates, or someone who leads. Phil Weiser could not even answer a simple question about why he refused to join a lawsuit to stop Donald Trump’s horrific family separation policies at the border. That’s not leadership. Colorado can’t afford someone who waits for tough decisions to become easy or who only figures out their agenda after taking office. Michael is ready to lead and build what comes next for Colorado.
