Hello --

Washington is a lousy place to get things done, but now is the wrong time to walk away from the fight of our lives.

We need to defeat Trump. We need to take back the Senate. The paths to accomplishing both run right through Colorado, especially now that our campaign is considered the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat.

But the truth is, we have some challenges ahead: Trump is promising to campaign “a lot” in Colorado this year, and he already came right after Gardner voted to acquit him. Plus, they have an army of right-wing billionaires who will spend outrageous amounts of money to launch false attacks against me.

We won’t stoop down to their level and launch false attacks, but we need the resources to fight back and get our message out. Your voice in this fight will be the great equalizer in this election, and with our February fundraising deadline in two days, I need to ask one more time:

Can I count on you to make a donation of $10 or more before our end-of-month deadline on Saturday? We’re so close to reaching our critical $500,000 goal. I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

With the mess in Washington right now, I believe this is a time for people who know how to do things differently -- who know how to work together to get things done. That's why I'm in this race.

Thanks for all you do.
