A conversation beside campaign yard signs raises a larger question: Are voters hearing the full debate about Colorado’s climate future?

DENVER, Colo.: Colorado gubernatorial candidate Dr. Christian Komor is calling for climate change and economic affordability to take center stage in the governor’s race after an October 5 conversation with a Denver voter. According to Komor, a woman approached his campaign team while they were installing yard signs, said she planned to vote for Phil Weiser, and requested information about Komor’s campaign after the conversation turned to climate change.

“She came over supporting another candidate. After we talked about climate change, she wanted our information,” Komor said. “That is why these conversations matter. How many voters would reconsider their choices if they had a real opportunity to hear and compare the alternatives?”

Komor said the encounter illustrates his campaign’s central argument: climate policy should be an organizing priority for Colorado’s economic future, not a separate subject addressed after the economic agenda has already been set. His platform frames water, power, and climate as a jobs program and proposes connecting carbon removal, clean energy, and computing infrastructure in an integrated development strategy. 

Weiser’s published energy-and-climate agenda includes bio char and meeting Colorado’s emissions-reduction goals with more solar and wind projects. 

Komor points out "There is already too much carbon in our atmopshere for even a full-stop to make a difference now. Only negative emissions technologies like Direct Air Carbon Removal will make a difference here in the end." Komor is challenging candidates to make the urgency, scale, implementation, and economic consequences of their climate proposals a central subject of the general-election debate.

“Climate change cannot wait at the back of the line,” Komor said. “It belongs right up front with the economy. Colorado should be asking how climate action can create good jobs, protect our water, and strengthen communities, and then demanding concrete plans to deliver.”

Komor is urging news organizations and debate hosts to give voters a substantive comparison of the candidates’ climate and economic proposals. He said the Denver encounter reinforced the value of direct voter conversations and the need for broader public discussion.

“The frustration is knowing how many people we may never get the chance to speak with,” Komor said. “Every voter deserves the opportunity to examine the choices and the Alden-controlled media in our state had let only one side speak during this race."
