Description: Levi Tilleman's race in Colorado's Sixth Congressional District may have gotten on your radar because of the DCCC's to push him out of the race in favor of a corporate new dem candidate but that's not what makes him special. He's a special candidate because of his unmatched experience on enviornmental issues, his bold vision for Colorado and his progressive agenda. You'll hear his passion in this interview with Lush Left hosts David Slavick and Mary Angela Perna. But don't take our word for it, check out this guest post he did on the Blue America blog about his run. "Let’s start with the progressive agenda. Before I decided to run, I spent months listening and here’s what I heard people say: too many workers are being squeezed by the modern economy; hard work should mean a good life; the excesses of extreme capitalism and inequality are threatening the American Dream; things need to change. I agreed. Like you, I believe: Universal healthcare is a right Americans deserve a living minimum wage of at least $15/hr The future of our planet and the U.S. economy requires a transition to renewable energy by 2035 All Americans must be treated equally before the law Donald Trump is a criminal (and Democrats need to fight to remove him from office) Voters are crying out for an economic and social agenda that delivers economic justice and equal opportunity for all. Progressives demand that these policies address the crushing inequality in America today. I’m committed to fighting for that agenda in Washington. But we’ll never get there if we don’t push back against Washington insiders. Lobbyists and establishment politicians are trying to slow-walk our fight for equality. They peddle half-truths, influence and big money donations on behalf of candidates and causes that don’t represent you. Those candidates fit the Washington mold-- and that’s not a good thing. They will go with the flow and won’t stand up for what’s right when it really matters. If we keep sending that type of person to Washington, they’ll keep rigging the system against us. That’s exactly what’s happening in CO-06 Blue America is asking for your help in Colorado."
