On Drugs: Challenges AG on stopping pot research

A bipartisan group of lawmakers [including Polis] sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions expressing concern about a reported move by the Justice Department to halt marijuana research. The letter referenced a Washington Post report from that stated the Department of Justice has shut down plans to reduce barriers to marijuana research. "It is worrisome to think that the Department would limit new and potentially groundbreaking research simply because it does not want to follow a rule."

On Environment: Must work with partners to preserve public land

"Of all of the important battles that we're fighting, to protect our environment, keep our air clean, make a contribution on climate change, the only thing that can never be undone is if our public lands were privatized," Polis said. "It's a high-stakes battle, and we need to enlist all our partners in the outdoor recreation industry, economic development and areas and economies that rely on our public lands."
