Hickenlooper is for maintaining the Obama-era fuel efficiency standards for cars.

He is not the right person to protect our water, air or land because he\u2019s in the pocket of oil and gas companies.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s change that this November by electing a leader who is willing to take bold action on climate change.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/opinion\/letter-to-the-editor-vote-hickenlooper-in-colorado-senate-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a resident of Colorado and Summit County, I value our clean air and water and want to protect our environment.
