Washington, D.C. – Today, Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement welcoming President Joe Biden to Colorado:
“I am pleased to welcome President Biden back to Colorado. There is no better place for the President to outline a clear vision for how his administration plans to build back better –– not just from the pandemic, but from 50 years of underinvestment in our nation. I hope the President describes the urgent steps he will take to focus on the needs of Colorado’s families and act urgently on climate change, which has driven destructive wildfires, floods, and drought across our state.
“I would like nothing more than to personally welcome the President to Colorado, but I’m in Washington working to ensure the Build Back Better budget extends the expanded Child Tax Credit, urgently addresses the threat of climate change, makes significant investments in our forests and watersheds, and creates millions of good-paying jobs across the Mountain West.”
