He emphasized the need for local solutions to these challenges and believes that Colorado can set an example for the rest of the country.
Bennet’s campaign has garnered support from various Colorado elected officials, including U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper and several congressmen and mayors. Bennet’s background includes serving as Superintendent of Denver Public Schools and Chief of Staff to former Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. He is scheduled to make an in-person announcement about his gubernatorial campaign at City Park.
In addition to his run for governor, Bennet has also been involved in reintroducing the American Family Act, which aims to provide support to families and address issues such as child poverty in the country. Along with other Democrats, Bennet is working on legislation that aligns with his commitment to improving the lives of Coloradans and families across the United States.
These recent developments underscore Bennet’s dedication to serving Colorado and his efforts to address critical issues facing the state and the nation. As he embarks on his gubernatorial campaign, Bennet aims to bring leadership and vision to Colorado, making it the best state to live, work, and raise a family.
