Colorado Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet vote for Clean Air Act for all Americans
NEWS RELEASE
“In the face of today’s repeated attempts to put our health and safety at risk, Colorado’s Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet fought to make sure that Americans will have clean air to breathe. They helped beat back four different measures in the U.S. Senate that would have weakened the Clean Air Act, which protects Americans from dangerous pollution like mercury, carbon, and methane. Senators Udall and Bennet showed the kind of leadership that we need in Congress. Every person in Colorado who has lungs should call them to say thank you.”
