FORT COLLINS, Colo— On November 3, 2010 a victory celebration took place at City Park in Denver, Colorado. While people cheered and roared in the background, Democrat Micheal Bennet announced his close-race victory over Republican candidate Ken Buck. While supporters eagerly listen to Bennet’s speech, they could not help but feel excited about his new promises to the state of Colorado.
Bennet pointed out a huge idea, “This election and this campaign was never about sending some sort of political message, it was never about the latest pole or attack ad, this election was about you.” Which was a thought that Colorado residence had been waiting to hear.
Our nation is truly facing issues right now, and people want change. Sen. Michael Bennet brought to the table that Colorado clearly needs some rebuilding, and the first step in this is to create more jobs. Along with providing the 850,000+ Colorado children with the education they deserve, and lastly providing affordable health care.
With powerful promise, Bennet announced, “I will not let you down. I am not going back to Washington to play politics, I am going back there to fight for more jobs, for better jobs. For a clean energy economy and for a 21 century education for every child. I am going back there to fight so that every American has access to quality health care at a cost we can afford.”
Bennet stuck with the idea that it is important to rebuild our politics, leaving more, not less for the generations that follow us. Providing our communities with jobs for decades, and putting a stop to outsourcing. Allowing people to feel secure with our government, and take pride in our nations system.
Bennet continued his speech by passing on a thought that all of this shouldn’t be about the democrats or republicans…it should be about the people people as a whole.
“I will not let you down. I am not going back to Washington to play politics, I am going back there to fight for more jobs, for better jobs. For a clean energy economy and for a 21 century education for every child. I’m going back there to fight so that every American has access to quality health care at a cost we can afford.”-Sen. Michael Bennet
Micheal Bennet showed his character by thanking his wife and family for all of their support, and this can be very appealing in a political race. His speech and family status showed a humble side, and showed Colorado where his values were. Another important issue he wanted to address, is that he knows the importance of education due to the fact that he has three daughters of his own.
“We can get it done together, this is definitely a race for the record books and this is not my victory this is yours.”-Sen. Michael Bennet
