I am a student, a naturalist and public land worshipper. As a young voter concerned about the climate crisis and our imperiled biosphere’s future, I am deeply disturbed by the policies (or lack thereof) of Congressional District 3 candidate Lauren Boebert and impressed by the policies advocated by candidate Diane Mitsch Bush. Mitsch Bush supports solutions that include transition policies for individuals employed in traditional fossil fuel industries. She opposes a proposed natural gas pipeline, Jordan Cove, that will transport Colorado’s resources to Asian markets and expose communities to pollutants during extraction, storage and transport. Boebert speaks of Mitsch Bush’s plan to strengthen renewable energy as “outsourcing our energy to communists in China.” Please vote for environmentally, educationally and economically responsible Mitsch Bush.
