Michael Bennet, a candidate in the governor’s race, highlights his experience in the private sector and as a school superintendent. He emphasizes his ability to create jobs and improve education.

Policy Priorities

Bennet’s top priority is to address the cost-of-living crisis in Colorado. He aims to ensure that no Coloradan pays more than 30% of their income on housing and to launch a public option for healthcare. He also plans to start an economy-wide cap-and-invest program to hold corporations accountable.

Bennet stresses the importance of improving the education system, citing the need for more school days and better mental health support for students. He proposes paying educators what they deserve and connecting education to the workforce to provide graduates with the skills needed to earn a living wage.
