About a hundred other big companies, significant companies have left the state because we've created a poor environment for them.

Overstated

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itA specific numerical claim about the number of significant companies that have left Colorado, which is verifiable and central to his economic argument.
What we foundThe '~100 companies' figure is broadly accurate per the Colorado Chamber Foundation's tracker (98 since 2019), but the claim overstates by characterizing all departures as 'big/significant companies' and by asserting a clear causal link to state policy, when the tracker includes companies of varying sizes, missed expansion opportunities, and cases where reasons were not disclosed.
