John, 

In the upcoming special election to replace Rep. Ken Buck, who resigned late last month, the field is now set. 

Republicans chose a placeholder candidate named Greg Lopez, who ran unsuccessfully for Governor in both 2018 and 2022. Democrats nominated a political newcomer named Trisha Calvarese, a former congressional staffer who also worked in communications for Conservation International and for the AFL-CIO.

Lopez has a lot of unique baggage weighing him down: in 2020, he settled a lawsuit with the DOJ after he allegedly tried to influence the Small Business Administration after a stint as district director of the SBA. He also has a documented series of run-ins with law enforcement, including a domestic violence incident while his wife was six months pregnant in 1993, and a DUI charge. (According to the Denver Post, Lopez admitted having been charged, but couldn't recall exactly when...)

The special election in CO-04 is an important race for the entire country. Winning this seat in June could flip control of the U.S. House to Democrats for the remainder of the year.  

Democrats have overperformed in every special election since the Supreme Court struck down Roe in 2022. This race can be won, if we work to make it happen. 

The stakes are enormous, and we need to do everything we can to stun the GOP with a loss in a district they are taking for granted. Can you chip in $25 or more to help us shock MAGA World and flip the House with a win here in June?
