    I’m serious: I left DC years ago. I have no desire to work in a White House. I love Colorado & never want to go back to DC. And my wife is in the legislature. I sacrificed my entire career to do this godforsaken slog of a job because my kids’ future depends on a Green New Deal

    Lots of attacking the messenger here instead of responding to my critique. Bernie has been in Congress for decades, introduced 900+ bills, 3 of which were signed into law, 2 of which were to name post offices. That doesn't suggest he could enact his agenda if elected.

    No Child Left Behind became law 18 years ago today. I voted against it, and that was the right vote. High stakes testing has robbed students of the joys of learning and adds to teacher burnout. We need a system where kids can learn in a holistic manner.
