Nine months after joining the race, Andrew’s last remaining Democratic opponent has agreed to debate. Their first bout: Tuesday, June 9—the first day ballots arrive.
Voters will finally get a chance to compare the two candidates, side by side. Here are some of the key differences:
🌎 CLIMATE ACTION
Romanoff: Andrew supports the
Green New Deal, prizes public health and the environment, and refuses to accept contributions from the fossil fuel industry.
Hickenlooper: Hick opposes the Green New Deal, sued communities that tried to restrict fracking, and has taken a quarter of a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry throughout his career.
💥 GUN VIOLENCE
Romanoff: Andrew fought the gun lobby, earned an F from the NRA, and supports strong measures to
prevent gun violence.
Hickenlooper: Hick blamed his staff for making him sign a ban on high-capacity magazines, saying he didn’t expect the bill to pass and might not have signed it if he’d known it would be so “divisive.”
🚑 HEALTH CARE
Romanoff: Andrew supports
Medicare for All, took on the for-profit insurance industry, and led the fight for mental health care.
Hickenlooper: Hick not only opposes Medicare for All, he parrots the insurance industry’s arguments against it—and compared progressives who support it to “Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin.”
Here’s the good news:
even a generic Democrat beats Cory Gardner by double digits. Let’s replace Gardner with one of the most effective legislative leaders in America—that’s Andrew—rather than a candidate who repeatedly told us he’d be a “terrible” senator and wasn’t cut out for the job!
The contrast is clear.
Will you help us share Andrew’s bold, progressive vision by chipping in $5 or more right now?
Thank you!
Team Romanoff
