The Denver Democrats express our deep respect and gratitude to President Biden as he announces his decision not to seek re-election. Over the past four years, his administration has made significant strides in the face of unprecedented challenges. President Biden's achievements include fostering a resilient economy, passing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act - the first significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years and enacting the Inflation Reduction Act, representing the largest investment in climate action in U.S. history. His administration has also succeeded in lowering prescription drug costs through Medicare negotiations and investing $1.2 trillion in infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
As we move forward, we commit to building upon this progress. Our focus remains on critical issues such as protecting reproductive rights, addressing climate change, ensuring economic fairness and strengthening our democracy. We are dedicated to a smooth transition and putting forward candidates who will continue this vital work and further our shared values.
We call on all Democrats and like-minded independents to unite behind our eventual nominee. Your involvement is crucial as we work toward victory in the 2024 election and beyond. President Biden's lifetime of public service and dedication to the American people have left an indelible mark on our nation. As we enter this new chapter, let us honor his legacy by redoubling our efforts to create a more just, prosperous and united America.
