Cory Gardner cost myself and my family two weeks’ pay last year when he voted to shut down the federal government. As a government contractor, I was not reimbursed like most federal employees were. I can’t support a candidate who knowingly votes to hurt people and their families. He could have worked with other members of Congress to compromise, but didn’t. This was a callous action, and he should not be allowed to represent Colorado.
