“Coloradans on the Western Slope got to hear how Democratic Values and policies will continue to improve their lives. We are focused on making sure our lands are protected,  that we conserve precious water, provide good paying jobs, and make sure that strong infrastructure – including broadband – reaches every corner of our state.  Democrats want to see raises for our teachers so every child across the state can receive the best education.”
