Washington, D.C. — Today, Colorado United States Senator Michael Bennet was sworn in for his third term and released the following statement:

“It is my honor to represent the great state of Colorado in the United States Senate for a third term. As we begin the new Congress, I am more optimistic than ever that we can build on our historic progress over the last two years and address the headwinds facing our country – from an economy that relentlessly heaps benefits on the wealthiest Americans and leaves everyone else behind, to a health care system that costs too much and covers too few, to a changing climate that threatens our Western economy and way of life. As always, I will continue to carry Colorado voices to Washington to meet our urgent challenges, build an economy that grows for everyone, and protect the American West. We have a duty to turn over a stronger economy and democracy for the next generation.”
