On ‘Fighting for Colorado Families Tour,' Bennet Discusses Health Care, The Economy, Energy and Other Critical Issues Important to Coloradans

Michael Bennet, U.S. Senator for Colorado, today completed a 64-County tour of Colorado with a visit to Park County to hold a roundtable discussion with local health care providers. In just eight months, Bennet has visited each county in the state at least once to hear from Coloradans about the economy, health care, energy and much more.

"The best part of my job is spending time with Coloradans where they live and work and raise their families and getting a chance to hear their views on important issues," Bennet said. "These are tough times. People across our state are worried about the economy, they are concerned about rising health care costs, and they want to know how we are going to get our government's deficits and debt under control. From Montezuma to Pueblo to Mesa to Kit Carson Counties, I've heard good Colorado common sense and gotten great input on what we should be doing in Washington to address these problems."

"Between January and today, I have visited with soldiers and veterans, doctors and nurses, ranchers and farmers, students and teachers, seniors, young people training for new energy jobs and small business owners and so many more. It's their stories and their voices that I bring back to Washington each and every day."
