Colorado House Speaker Crisanta Duran, state Rep. Faith Winter and state Sen. Dominick Moreno were in Washington, D.C., Monday to take a seat on America’s Cabinet, a shadow group to President Trump’s advisers but with their own take.

The program is a part of the nonpartisan Young Elected Officials Network, a national group of leaders elected before they were 35.

Duran is the panel’s secretary of transportation. Moreno will serve as its secretary of health and human services. Winter is the secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency.

At the panel’s introduction, Duran proposed creating an American workforce through VISTA and other jobs programs to employ and train unemployed or underemployed people to teach them job skills in two-year stints. That would get transportation projects moving in local communities, she said.

Duran said transportation planning needed to looked at moving people via mass transit, not just traffic.

“It’s essential we have a network that supports electric vehicles,” she said.

Moreno presented a defense for the Affordable Care Act, recounting the time he was struck by a car while walking home and was afraid to go to the emergency room because he didn’t have insurance.

He said Americans should be able to buy into the government programs that insure children and older people in this country, forcing private insurers to compete. The government also should use its purchasing power through those programs to lower drug prices, he said.

“Is it a perfect law? No,” Moreno said of Obamacare. “But we should work to improve it rather than repealing it,”

He took a partisan shot at the president.

Moreno said Republicans are “emboldened by a president more concerned with profits than people.”

Winter said, “Now is the time to act. Climate Change is real. The United States has faced more severe weather events than any other time in modern history from hurricanes to fires to mudslides.  These events have taken lives, destroyed property, and puts our first responders at an increased risk. As head of the EPA, I will put your health first, science first, and solutions first. I ask you to join me by supporting America’s Cabinet, online and on twitter. Together we will protect our planet for future generations.”
