Hello --

I am going to ask you to make a contribution to our grassroots campaign to flip a Republican-held Senate seat in Colorado. First, I need to explain why your contribution is so important, especially this week.

Donald Trump announced last night that he’s coming back to Colorado to campaign and fundraise for our opponent, Cory Gardner. This comes just weeks after Gardner voted to acquit the president, and now Trump is attempting to repay the political favor.

Along with all the money and attention Trump’s visit will bring is another round of nasty, negative attacks on my character -- right from the GOP playbook we’ve seen time and again.

We have to fight back today. Cory Gardner may have the support of Trump’s re-election machine and McConnell’s right-wing donor network, but our campaign has something more powerful: lots of grassroots Democrats like you who are standing with us in this critical fight.

So, we’re in the middle of an emergency fundraising drive to raise $250,000 from online donors and I’m personally asking you to step up today. Can I count on you to donate $10 or more before Trump comes back to Colorado?

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

Donald Trump promised to campaign “a lot” in Colorado for my opponent, and he’s making good on it. But if we’re prepared, we’ll be able to blunt the impact of his attacks and keep on talking about the issues that matter to folks in this state.

Thank you for standing with me,

John
