Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet announced Friday he is running for governor of Colorado, saying the best solutions to the state’s challenges “will not come from the broken politics practiced in Washington.”
“They will come from us, and that’s why I’m running for governor,” Bennet says in his campaign launch video. “It’s here we can make health care, housing and child care more affordable. It’s here we can best fight [President Donald] Trump’s corruption while building a better future for our kids and our grandkids.”
With his entry into the race, Bennet joins state Attorney General Phil Weiser in the primary to succeed term-limited Gov. Jared Polis, a fellow Democrat and former congressman.
