âOur experienced campaign team will tell the story of our work to deliver for all Coloradans, Bennet said in a statement. This includes passing the American Rescue Plan to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, deliver economic relief for middle class families and our successful, years-long effort to cut child poverty in America in half; fighting climate change and protecting Coloradoâs public lands; and expanding access to high quality, affordable health care.â
A provision authored by Bennet to expand the child tax credit was included in the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief and stimulus bill passed by Democrats and signed last month by President Joe Biden. Studies show the measure could dramatically reduce the rate of childhood poverty.
