Senator Bennett holds Pueblo town hall to hear community concerns

(PUEBLO, Colo.) — Senator Michael Bennett hosted a town hall in Pueblo on Saturday, May 25, hearing from voters about the issues that matter most to them.

In April, Senator Bennet announced his candidacy for the 2026 Colorado Governor’s election. His campaign focuses on building a brighter future for Colorado and improving the state’s affordability.

Close to 100 people showed up at the event today at Pueblo East High School. Many expressed concern about decisions made by the Trump administration and said they appreciated having a local representative who listens.

“People feel helpless, as was spoken out about here in this forum,” said Frederick Wells, Pueblo community member. “They feel helpless. They don’t know what to do. They don’t know where to turn. And to have a political figure to come in and be able to actually have a conversation gives people hope. And I think right now, hope is something that we really need.”

However, several attendees also said Senator Bennett still has work to do to earn their vote.
