Folks --

We are at a crucial moment for protecting our land, water, and air -- so much of what makes Colorado special.

Washington is bulldozing through our national monuments, carving up our public lands, and auctioning them off to the highest-bidding special interests. The Trump Administration is rolling back key environmental protections. And Washington Republicans, like my opponent Cory Gardner, refuse to act on climate change.

As a Coloradan, I am fed up. Not only do these reckless policies threaten our public lands and wild spaces, they threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars that outdoor recreation contributes to our economy.

Today, I'm releasing an aggressive policy agenda to protect our outdoors. If you agree we need to prioritize conservation now to protect the Colorado we love, please sign on to my plan here.

Washington needs a bold plan to promote our outdoor economy while conserving our natural spaces.

My plan includes:

+ Enhancing America's outdoor recreational experiences by opposing selling off federal lands, addressing the maintenance backlog of the national parks, fully funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and expanding access to federal lands to increase equity in outdoors access for low-income individuals and people of color.

+ Promoting the outdoor industry in Colorado and across the country by prioritizing passing the CORE Act -- which would protect 400,000 acres of Colorado's public lands, including Thompson Divide and Camp Hale -- and other legislation that would protect our public lands, ending the reckless trade wars, and establishing a National Recreation Office to promote outdoor recreation on federal lands, create jobs, diversify rural economies, and provide physical and mental benefits to us all.

+ Addressing today's most pressing conservation challenges by protecting rare and endangered species, supporting efforts to improve our resilience to climate change, and mapping and conserving wildlife corridors.

Our outdoor economy and Colorado way of life depend on us being good stewards of the environment. We have an obligation to leave public lands better off for future generations.

I want to lead on this issue in Washington. We can bring people together -- industry leaders, environmentalists, businesspeople, federal and state officials, hunters, anglers, skiers, rafters, cyclists, and more -- to protect our outdoors and promote our economy.

Please take action now and support my plan today.
