DEBATE

Buck: “We Need Jobs!”

Bennet: Tax-Cuts Brought Us into the Economic Recession

Colorado Springs, CO—U.S. Senate candidates Ken Buck and Michael Bennet went head-to-head in the KOAA-NBC Colorado Springs Gazette debate, the second of the General Election. 

The debate highlighted the stark contrast between the two candidates, with Ken Buck focused on his views that Americans need, versus Bennet trying to run away from his record. 

From the get-go, Buck gave a clear plan on getting Americans back to work, rein in Washington’s out of control spending and making Washington answer to the American people, not the special interests. While Michael Bennet said tax-cuts were the reason for our crises. 

“People just don’t have faith in the system,” Buck said at the end of the debate.  “Unfortunately, Bennet has been a rubberstamp of the failing system, voting 92 percent of the time with his party.  I will be a different kind of senator—one who listens to the people of Colorado, not the special interests.” 

“Bennet ran away from the important issues facing our country, such as how we’re going to correct Social Security, and create jobs,” said Buck campaign manager, John Swartout.  “Instead, Bennet spent his time running away from his record of rubberstamping $13.5 trillion in debt and sending 9.5 percent of Americans to the unemployment line.”
