On Education: Student loan debt is ball and chain on young people's lives

On student debt: "We waste a lot of money in this country, and if we're not investing in education, we have our priorities wrong," Williams said, adding the need for more skilled worker programs in lieu of traditional four-year college. "Student loan debt is a ball and chain on young people's lives. We have an entire generation of people not buying homes because they're too afraid of being able to pay their student loans. That would be moving money back into the economy." Source: Summit Daily News on 2020 Colorado Senate debate Oct 24, 2019

On Principles & Values: Attacking progressive ideas as "socialist" is a scare tactic

It is not socialism to want to expand health care access and reduce costs for every citizen. It is not socialist to propose sweeping changes to our fossil fuel economy, preserving our land and water for ranchers, farmers, and future generations. When Democrats label and attack progressive solutions as "socialist," we adopt the tired scare tactics that conservatives have used to decrease the appeal of otherwise popular ideas in an effort to win elections, or defeat Democratic policy proposals.
