CO-GOV: Bennet, Weiser debate again ahead of ballots dropping in Colorado Democratic primary for governor
Colorado’s two Democratic candidates for governor met again for a debate in Denver Thursday, less than a week before county clerks across the state will begin mailing ballots to registered voters for the June 30 primary election.
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser broke little new ground during the debate, hosted by 9News at the University of Denver, as each again reprised the major themes of their campaigns — Bennet touting his “vision for the future” and plans to tackle Colorado’s affordability crisis, and Weiser promising to accomplish many of the same goals by being a “fighter” fluent in the inner workings of state government.
Bennet, who has served all or part of four terms in the Senate since he was appointed to his seat in 2009, said he entered the governor’s race last April, three months after Weiser, because he “didn’t see a candidate with an agenda” equal to the state’s challenges.
“These are, in my view, the fundamental issues that we face: Can Colorado be a place where middle-class families can live, where working people can live, where teachers and others can find a home?” Bennet said. “If that is your agenda, and that’s what your concern is, I hope you’ll support my campaign.”
