Guinn Unger is running for Colorado State Senate. In today’s political climate, I find it admirable to see that he stands for common sense, responsible environmental policy and for holding polluters accountable. He states “While we continue to need viable mining and oil/gas industries, those industries need to be responsible citizens. It is naive to believe that large companies will be responsible on their own, so we need to have regulations that ensure that all industry is carried out responsibly.”
Mr. Unger is running against Senator Don Coram, who was appointed - not elected - to his position. It’s no surprise that Mr. Coram’s voting record receives low scores from environmental watch groups. Coram voted to prohibit Colorado’s participation in reducing carbon dioxide emissions at the state level. He voted to strip from local governments the democratic right to make decisions about oil and gas operations that affect their own communities. He even voted to repeal the widely popular electric vehicle credit that helps consumers save money on fuel, and stimulates Colorado’s tech economy.
If you care about clean air and water, vote in November for Guinn Unger.
