“When my party’s wrong, I’ll say it.”
That’s what Cory Gardner promised. He just didn’t mean it.
Donald Trump is raiding $3.6 billion from the national defense budget—including $8 million from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs—to build a wall (the one he said Mexico would pay for). Ten Republicans stood up to Trump yesterday and voted to oppose his raid.
Gardner wasn’t on the list.
No surprise there—Gardner votes with Trump at nearly every turn. That’s one of the reasons Gardner’s approval rating has sunk to just 36 percent.
Gardner talked a good game to win this seat in 2014. But that’s all it was: talk.
Coloradans deserve a senator who will stand up to the political establishment, even when the going gets tough. I’m doing that right now—by running.
Our campaign is under attack from both the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. And believe me: it’s not easy to bring Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer together!
But that’s fine with me. I’m not running to please the party bosses in Washington; I’m running to represent you.
Will you keep our grassroots campaign going by chipping in $36 or any amount right now?
