Bennett Wins the Senate

By JTavarez

FORT COLLINS, Colo -- Sen. Michael Bennett called it a victory on Wednesday against the Republican candidate Ken Buck, allowing Democrats a second term at the senate seat.

“Our generation will live up to the promise of America,” says Bennett.

Gathered outside the Nature and Science Museum in Denver, Bennett and his campaign gathered for their victory speech, early Wednesday afternoon in celebration of an election well fought. Speaking to the crowd with the encouragement of his daughters under the podium he proclaimed that the victory was not his own but of the people of Colorado.

“It's not my victory, it is yours and I'll never forget that,” Bennett says with cheers and hollers from his supporting crowd.

Endorsed by the Denver Post, they wrote:

"Michael Bennett, who was appointed as Colorado's junior senator in January 2009, has the temperament, intelligence and passion to be a leader -- not just for Colorado, but also for the fractured Senate and the country," wrote the Post editorial board.

Leading with a little over 15,000 votes, it is evident that Colorado agreed.

A “21st century” education, Bennett proclaimed one of the needs in the rocky mountain state.

“The zip code they [students] are born into is not going to define the quality of education they get.”

Being the Denver Public School superintendent, and the father of three beautiful girls, education is a prime importance for the senator of Colorado.

Being the innovated Senator to make a change in Colorado, Michael Bennett is going to reestablish faith in the American dream.
