EDITORIAL: Stop Biden's nominee from harming Colorado

Feb. 24—Colorado's children matter or they do not. If they matter, the decision to confirm or reject President Joe Biden's nominee for Interior secretary should be easy for Colorado Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper. They should vote 'no' without reservation.

If the senators approve nominee Deb Haaland, a Democratic House member from New Mexico, they will choose to impose absolute harm on Colorado's middle-and-lower-income families and their children.

The Senate began Haaland's confirmation hearing Tuesday, and it does not matter how well it goes. Everyone in Congress knows about Haaland and her radical views. Nothing in a question-and-answer forum can change who she is and what she will do in a position of power so relevant to Colorado.
