Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement on the Republican House-passed spending bill:
“Republicans knew they needed Democratic votes to pass their spending bill. But, they refused to work with Democrats on a bipartisan deal to put American families first.
“The Republican spending bill does not serve Coloradans well; therefore, I will be voting no.
“In the coming days, I am committed to working across the aisle to finish the appropriations process and craft a bill that is a better deal for Colorado.”
