Iowa Caucus First Impressions: Michael Bennet pounds some truth into the campaign
Des Moines Register 8/19/2019
Friends, this is big!
The Des Moines Register isn't mincing words on this one: "Iowa caucusgoers...would be well-served to give Bennet more attention. He offers a much-needed reality check on the promises candidates are offering and what it will take to accomplish meaningful change."
And one of the editorial board members described Michael as "a truth-teller -- someone on the inside who doesn't mince words about why everything is screwed up. And why sensible ideas like his don't ever get a hearing."
It's clear our momentum in Iowa is building.

Here were some of the Des Moines Register's other takeaways on Michael:
Healthcare: Rather than squandering the time, political capital, and money needed to enact a "Medicare for All" plan, Michael urges Congress to build on the ACA then turning its attention to pressing matters such as climate change and infrastructure.
Education: As a former superintendent in Denver's public schools, Michael says he first considers how policies would affect the students he used to serve. To that end, he says he'd prioritize federal assistance for states to offer free preschool.
Immigration: As a member of the Senate "Gang of Eight" that got 68 Senate votes for bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform legislation in 2013, Michael speaks with authority on the issue and still embraces this approach.
Michael knocked it out of the ballpark with this interview. But it's not news to us.
We see it all the time.
When people hear Michael's message and vision around meaningful change, they realize exactly what people in Iowa did: Michael is a fierce truth teller.
Help us keep the momentum building.
Michael's voice should be heard on every debate stage. With your help we can secure his spot, can we count on you?
