This past week, two presidential candidates left the race and are running
for other offices. But make no mistake. They are not the same.

GOOD: Jay Inslee is a climate change hero. As Elizabeth Warren said,
"Thank you Jay Inslee for fighting every day to make sure that climate
change remains a primary focus of this election." The DNC absurdly denied
his request for a climate debate – literally voting against it as the
Amazon rainforest goes up in flames.

[ [link removed] ]Inslee is now running for re-election as Washington Governor. And he
deserves our support – can you chip in $3 or more to thank him for
thinking big and leading on climate change, and our work to support bold
progressive candidates and keep you informed? Donate here.

NOT GOOD: Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper also left the
presidential race and is running for the U.S. Senate in Colorado. Dems
shouldn't nominate the candidate some call "Rocky Mountain Joe Manchin"
and "Frackenlooper" to the Senate any more than they nominated him for the
presidency. 

Establishment Dems want us to believe that Hickenlooper is the way to flip
this Senate seat from red to blue. But in 2018, Colorado elected by 10
points a Democratic Governor who campaigned on Medicare For All! And polls
show that incumbent Republican Senator Cory Gardner is one of the
most unpopular and most vulnerable senators in the country. Colorado is a
blue state now, and needs to be represented by someone who [ [link removed] ]champions
progressive ideas.

As a conservative Democrat, Hickenlooper will block progressive change in
the Senate.

In the campaign, Hickenlooper actively attacked Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth
Warren, and progressive priorities like Medicare For All and a Green New
Deal. In the Senate, he has supported right-wing judges, Trump nominees,
and watered down Democratic priorities like health care.

As the Amazon burns, and global temperatures inch higher and higher, our
country must play a key role in taking bold action on the climate crisis.
But as governor, Hickenlooper threatened to sue cities that even slightly
restricted drilling and fracking -- and he followed through on the
promise. 

To defend fracking as safe, Hickenlooper bragged at a Senate hearing that
he drank Halliburton fracking fluid.

At this time in our country's history, there should be no room for a
Democrat who stands in the way of progress on climate change and clean
energy. 

GOOD: Hickenlooper's main Democratic opponent for U.S. Senate -- former
Colorado House Speaker [ [link removed] ]Andrew Romanoff -- supports progressive
priorities. He said last week, "The best way to defeat Cory Gardner and
flip the Senate is to present a clear alternative. That means fighting for
progressive priorities -- a Green New Deal, Medicare for All -- not
echoing GOP talking points."

We need Senators like Romanoff who will champion the these ideas, not John
"Frackenlooper" who has done the bidding of the fossil fuel industry for
years. 

Romanoff can defeat Hickenlooper -- and flip this U.S. Senate seat from
Republican to progressive!

[ [link removed] ]Can you donate $3 or more to help Andrew Romanoff defeat John
Hickenlooper and help Jay Inslee win re-election, and our work to support
bold progressive candidates and keep you informed? Donate here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
