Whether in Fairplay, Buena Vista, or Woodland Park, Michael Bennet’s campaign welcomed hundreds of voters at grassroots campaign events over the weekend. 

DENVER ⁠⁠— Today, ballots are being sent out to voters across Colorado. And after a weekend of successful campaign events across Colorado, Michael Bennet’s campaign is more energized than ever for the final weeks of this election.

At a grassroots event in Teller County on Sunday afternoon – which has about 19,000 registered voters, only 13% of whom are registered Democrats – Michael drew a crowd of more than 250 people. At the event, Michael spoke about Democratic accomplishments in the last year, and the importance of building an economy that works for everyone.

“The richest country in the world should not tolerate the fact that we have the third highest child poverty rate in the industrialized world,” Michael told the crowd at the Teller County event. “Last year, when we put my expanded Child Tax Credit in place, and we cut childhood poverty in America almost in half, and reduced hunger by almost 25%. I want to go back to the Senate so we can make that expanded Child Tax Credit permanent.”

Hundreds of supporters filled the room at a campaign event in Woodland Park.

At the Colorado Black Women for Political Action Luncheon on Saturday, Michael spoke about the importance of protecting a woman’s right to choose, protecting the right to vote, and his efforts to end child poverty in America.

After an energizing weekend full of campaign events that drew large crowds, Michael and his team look forward to engaging with voters at events between now and November 8.
