The Democrats want you to believe that they are the only ones who can make American women prosper – but women in Colorado know that we owe our newfound success to the economic policies of President Trump. 

Sadly, the future of our unprecedented prosperity is more precarious now than ever before – which is precisely why the Women for Trump coalition is launching a brand-new voter-registration initiative today in Denver at a gathering called, “An evening to empower.” The event will prepare volunteers to take part in a nationwide drive to register women voters that begins on Monday, the 99th anniversary of women’s suffrage. Together, we can give women the tools they need to defend Colorado’s ongoing economic renaissance at the ballot box in 2020. 

The women of Colorado have benefited tremendously from President Trump’s leadership so far, and we’ll continue thriving for years to come if we vote to give him another four years in the 2020 presidential election. 

American families have struggled for years to cope with the rising costs of healthcare – a crisis that was only made worse by the disastrous health care policy of President Obama. My own family’s healthcare costs nearly doubled after Obamacare took effect, and we were far from the only ones.

The Trump administration tackled this problem head-on by eliminating the Obamacare “individual mandate,” loosening bureaucratic restrictions on new drugs, and mandating greater transparency from health care providers, and that approach has already worked wonders – American families saved a total of $26 billion in the first 18 months of his presidency as a result of falling prescription drug prices. 

The president’s immigration policy, meanwhile, has played a vital role in protecting our communities from the multinational criminal organizations that freely exploited our broken immigration system for many decades. 

Securing the border is also an economic imperative. Illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers approximately $116 billion every year – and that figure doesn’t even include the astronomical fiscal impact of the opiod epidemic. While the crisis started with the overprescription of narcotics, it’s now being fueled by drugs being smuggled across the southern border into Colorado and other states. 

President Trump can finally start securing the U.S.-Mexico border since he managed to get the funding he needs by cleverly outmaneuvering the obstructionist Democrats in Congress, but the long-term success of his policies hinges entirely on the result of the next presidential election. After all, most of the Democrats competing to run against Donald Trump have already pledged to undo his border security initiatives and replace them with completely open borders. 

President Trump’s economic policies, which have had an enormously positive effect on women across America, are also at risk of being scrapped by a Democrat administration. The president’s middle-class tax cuts have done wonders for women workers, helping to push the female unemployment rate to its lowest point in 66 years. 

Of course, the Democrats don’t care about these impressive statistics – or the life-changing impact they’ve had on working families. Their only goal is to “#resist” the president, no matter the cost. Even the so-called “moderate” candidates, like former Vice President Joe Biden, have vowed to repeal Donald Trump’s economic policies if they win the White House in 2020.

“First thing I would do as president is eliminate the president’s tax cut,” Biden said earlier this year, despite the fact that such a move would amount to a $2,383 tax hike on each Colorado family. 

Colorado women have a lot at stake in the upcoming presidential election, and the single most important thing we can do to secure our newfound security and prosperity is to vote for Donald Trump. In order to do that, we need to make sure women are registered to vote, and Women for Trump is going to help make that happen. 

If you’re just as motivated as I am about fighting for the future of our beautiful state, please attend this evening’s briefing, then go out and make sure that everyone you know is registered. These are prosperous times for women in America and in Colorado – and we can keep it that way by voting for President Trump in 2020.
