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.

People from around the globe see the exceptional character of American liberty and naturally believe that they also deserve to live in an environment of Natural Law — and they do.source

John refuses to accept their lawlessness. He knows they need to be completely overhauled or shut down.source

Amid the Trump admin’s relentless attacks on women’s rights, John is defending a woman’s right to choose. He is fighting to restore Roe v Wade and reverse disastrous Medicaid cuts that targeted Planned Parenthood.source
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.source
John knows this is the most corrupt administration in history. That’s why he’s fighting to stop them from profiting at the expense of the American people and rigging elections to hide from voters. John is rooting out corruption in Washington.source
America’s farmers and ranchers remain the backbone of our domestic economy and national food security. They feed our families and fuel significant portions of rural economic activity.source
