Alice Madden: Sense of urgency to act on saving the environment

As a minority member of the Colorado House, she says, "I'm driven by a sense of urgency to act on saving the environment and addressing climate change. I feel like I can get support not only across the state, but across the country, because I'm considere a scorecard every year, and Cory's score is 7%. It's pretty appalling. Think about what is important to people in Colorado. Even if you don't get up to the mountains, you know they're there. You enjoy the vistas, our amazing blue skies. Our outdoor economy in Colorado is huge, too, and that's at risk. Cory is doing nothing to save our tourism economy, and he supports a president who denies climate change. I don't know who directs his motives anymore, but it's certainly not the people of Colorado."
