House Republicans’ recent proposal would gut investments that help employ hard-working Coloradans and other essential programs
House Republicans are targeting clean energy and trying to repeal key provisions of the broadly popular Inflation Reduction Act as part of their plan to force the U.S. into an economic default if they cannot make drastic cuts to programs millions of families depend on.
A new report is highlighting the effect Republicans’ latest plans could have on jobs in Republican-held districts. In Pueblo, Colorado, the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits, which Republicans are trying to repeal, are helping build the world’s largest wind tower manufacturing site and create 850 good-paying manufacturing jobs. House Republicans and Lauren Boebert’s plan would likely halt these new CO-03 jobs.
DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia:
“Any way you spin it, Lauren Boebert isn’t looking out for Coloradans. By committing herself to her extreme ideology, she is barreling towards an unprecedented, catastrophic default that would tank the economy unless she can gut hundreds of jobs in Colorado. One thing is clear: Colorado won’t forget her reckless behavior and will hold her accountable next November.”
