Phil Weiser Unveils BennetVotes.com Criticizing Michael Bennet’s Senate Confirmations
DENVER, CO – As the first televised Democratic gubernatorial debate approaches, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has introduced BennetVotes.com. This new platform scrutinizes six Trump nominees supported by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, shedding light on the senator’s voting record that contrasts with Colorado’s values.
According to Anna Huck, Phil Weiser’s campaign manager, “Coloradans deserve to know the truth about Michael Bennet’s record: He has voted to confirm more of Trump’s cabinet members than almost any other Democrat in the Senate.” The website outlines Bennet’s support for individuals perceived as detrimental to Colorado, emphasizing the need for transparency.
BennetVotes.com focuses on several key confirmations:
Brooke Rollins, Agriculture Secretary: Rollins, backed by Bennet, has faced criticism for promoting corporate interests over public welfare. Her actions as agriculture secretary include withholding food assistance funds, challenging public health and safety.
Doug Burgum, Interior Secretary: As the overseer of national parks and public lands, Burgum, confirmed by Bennet, has been involved in reducing environmental protections, favoring fossil fuel industries, and cutting National Park staff.
Doug Collins, Veterans Affairs Secretary: Bennet voted to confirm Collins, who proposed cutting over 80,000 VA jobs, drawing criticism for jeopardizing essential services for veterans, including job losses for Colorado veterans and social workers.
Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary: Duffy, another Bennet-backed nominee, has been instrumental in advancing the Trump administration’s deportation agenda and scaling back electric vehicle infrastructure and airline passenger protections.
Chris Wright, Energy Secretary: Wright, an advocate for fossil fuels and a major Trump donor, has eliminated numerous clean energy initiatives and criticized climate change efforts, impacting Colorado’s National Renewable Energy Lab.
Tom Barrack, Ambassador to Turkey: Among only seven Democrats, Bennet supported Barrack, despite controversies surrounding his tenure as a corporate landlord and connections to Trump’s election campaign.
