BOULDER, CO – Boulder officials are standing up in support of Jared Polis. Today, two key Boulder environmentalists and community leaders threw their support behind Polis for Congress. Former Boulder Mayor, current County Commissioner and prominent environmentalist Will Toor, and former Chair of the Boulder Planning Board and board member of Colorado Conservation Voters Elise Jones announced their endorsement of Polis.
“I am honored to have the support of all three of these amazing individuals,” said Polis. “I am humbled by their confidence in my abilities and their willingness to stand by me as I continue our fight for the environment in Washington.”
Elise Jones, who sits on environmental boards in the state, including the Colorado Conservation Voters, and is also the former Chairwoman of the Boulder Planning Board, remarked on the endorsement, saying, “I have served with Jared Polis on the Board of Colorado Conservation Voters and have known him for many years. Jared has proven that environmental concerns are at the top of his agenda, and that we can trust his stances are not just lip service. He will stay true to his word while serving us in Washington.
“I believe this is now a two candidate race, and conservationists have a clear choice. My choice is Jared Polis.”
Will Toor, former Boulder mayor and current County Commissioner, has spearheaded Boulder County’s sustainability effort and formerly served as Director of the University of Colorado’s Environmental Center. Will stated, “" Jared understands just how important it is to address global climate change. I am convinced that Jared has what it takes to will stand up to the fossil fuel lobby and be a strong voice in congress for a clean energy future."
“In these final days before the primary, I am honored to have the support of true friends and fellow progressives like Elise, Will and Bob. They are what will give these last days the momentum needed to successfully cross the finish on August 12th,” remarked Polis.
Toor, Jones and Boulder County Treasurer Bob Hullinghorst, whose endorsement was announced yesterday, are the most recent additions to the Polis for Congress endorsement list, joining Boulder leaders like Senator Ron Tupa and former Boulder County Commissioner Josie Heath, as well as numerous state and national leaders.
