Polis Announces Candidacy For Second Term

COLORADO — Governor Jared Polis announced in a launch video on Tuesday that he will be running for a second term as the 43rd governor of Colorado.

Polis and his running mate, Lieutenant Governor Dianne Primavera, will begin their election campaign tonight with a four-day tour of the state, starting in Pueblo, according to a news release.

"It’s been a heavy challenge to lead the state through its darkest hours, including pandemic and fires, and it has also been an honor to dedicate myself to helping Coloradans make it through many crises," Polis said in the release.

"The last two years have taught me that leadership and judgment matter. I am proud of the work we have done to save thousands of lives while keeping our schools and economy open. We have hard work ahead. We will protect Colorado’s way of life, lowering the cost of living and making sure Colorado families have more opportunities ahead. Together, we will keep moving Colorado forward."
