When the Denver Broncos planned to let a corporation remove the words “Mile High” from the Broncos’ new taxpayer-financed stadium, John led a grassroots campaign to keep the name. When he saw that he could bring people together, he decided to run for Mayor. In his first campaign (he’d never even run for student council!), John was elected Mayor of Denver in an unexpected landslide — even though he wasn’t a part of the political establishment. As Mayor, John worked to expand mass transit, reduce crime, tackle climate change, and improve educational opportunities for Denver students.

As the only peer-reviewed scientist in the Senate, John refuses to bend the knee to the Trump administration’s all-out attack on science and American innovation. After the Trump administration attempted to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, risking 800 jobs and undermining the weather science that saves lives, John didn’t back down. He blocked a government funding package, joined rallies with Coloradans fighting back, and is working to protect NCAR’s funding. He’s continuing to push back on the administration’s blatant attacks on proven science and voted against Trump’s nominees who spread lies and undermine science.

John knows health care is a right not a privilege. That’s what has guided his work to deliver universal health care. As governor, he expanded health care to more than 500,000 Coloradans. As senator, he lowered drug prices for seniors and held pharmaceutical companies accountable for price gouging. John supports legislation to create a public option, lower drug prices by empowering Medicare to negotiate all drug prices, and improve health care access for rural, low-income, and minority communities.

John doesn’t take a dime of corporate PAC money. He is fighting to ban dark money and special interest corruption in politics. He supports overturning the Citizens United ruling, which unleashed floods of dark money in politics, and is a sponsor of legislation to create stricter regulations and disclosures for money in politics. As governor, John helped create the gold-standard for universal vote-by-mail to expand voting access. As senator, he is fighting back against Trump’s efforts to suppress the vote, end vote by mail, and deploy ICE agents to polling places.

ICE is out of control. They’ve shot, beaten, and killed people. They’re attacking constitutional rights. John refuses to accept their lawlessness. He knows they need to be completely overhauled or shut down. That’s why he voted against giving ICE a penny more and introduced legislation to ban ICE agents from wearing masks and conducting raids at sensitive locations like schools, hospitals, polling places, and places of worship. He’s demanded answers for the racist “death cards” left to intimidate people of color, conducted oversight visits at ICE facilities, and helped secure the release of Coloradans detained by ICE. John won’t stop protecting Colorado from Trump’s cruel mass deportation effort.

In the Senate, he continues to stand up to Trump’s attacks on our lands and climate. He successfully helped to remove the public lands sale from the Republicans disastrous Big Bad Betrayal Act and has been standing up to Trump’s efforts to punish Colorado, working to secure clean water for 50,000 Coloradans and protecting funding for NCAR to keep Americans safe during weather disasters.

Now, John is running for Senate to make Washington work for Coloradans. Just like he’s done throughout his career, he will use his independent perspective to bring people together to get things done — from lowering health care and prescription drug costs to keeping our families safe from gun violence, as well as protecting the state’s public lands while combating climate change.

He has worked to protect small businesses and consumers from cyberattacks and scams and supports regulating the artificial intelligence industry. He has fought back against the Trump Administration’s policies that are skyrocketing costs for groceries, medical care and other everyday goods and has been working to reinstate employees that ensure consumers’ rights.

John knows gun violence is an epidemic we can solve. As Governor, he took on the NRA and won. He created sweeping gun safety reform including universal background checks and limits on high capacity magazines. In the Senate, he helped pass the first major gun legislation in decades, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and helped form the Gun Violence Prevention Caucus. John supports legislation to expand background checks to all gun sales, ban assault weapons, and better regulate the safe home storage of firearms.

John knows our public lands will NEVER be for sale. When Trump and MAGA Republicans tried to sell off millions of acres of our public lands, John stopped them in their tracks. He helped build the coalition that mobilized millions of people across the country who put so much pressure on Republicans that they dropped their last-ditch plans to sell public lands to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.

Too many Coloradans are holding down two or three jobs but still can’t get ahead. We need to build an economy that works for everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy and well-connected. More affordable housing, lower prices, good paying jobs, fair working conditions, and strong small businesses. That’s the Colorado John is focused on building.
