- Jill Stein spoke about several Colorado ballot measures at a campaign event in Denver, saying, “Colorado is leading the charge. These are the things we need to do at the national level.” Stein offered praise for a Medicare-expansion ballot measure. She said, “Ultimately, we want to go to a single-payer system” and the ballot measure “gets us started.” In an interview with The Colorado Independent, however, Stein said she does not officially endorse the plan. “I don’t want to throw my weight behind an endorsement at this point. But I would certainly respect anyone who sees fit to work on it,” said Stein. At the Denver event, she also commented on a proposal to raise Colorado’s minimum wage to $12 an hour, saying, “I applaud you for making a big step forward.”
