‘$2 billion would be flushed down the toilet’: Senator John Hickenlooper discusses the future of Space Command in visit to Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Senator John Hickenlooper (D) took a trip to Colorado Springs to listen to voters in a town hall on the UCCS campus.
The town hall got heated in moments when he began discussing things like the war in Gaza, immigration and ICE. Hundreds of people packed the Gallogly Event Center.
Hickenlooper says he wants to work across the aisle on issues like immigration and the economy. He also adds that he wants to work with Representative Jeff Crank (R) on keeping Space Command here in Colorado Springs.
“I have gone to senior house members and senior senators of both parties, and in a time of doge, $2 billion would be flushed down the toilet. In a time of heightened international anxiety, we are at full operational capability right now for the first time in 18 months,” Hickenlooper said.
