As you know I've been driving all over CD-4 this week – out to Julesburg in the very northeast corner and I'll be down Castle Rock with my team today. We've been meeting people in cafes and breweries all over the state to talk about what's at stake in this election. And when I have an hour to spare, I love going door-to-door along the way to talk with even more neighbors.

And here's what people have shared with me: I've heard that many people feel distressed about the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. I've heard that folks are having a hard time affording their health insurance and care costs. Plenty of folks ask me about my plan to address housing affordability in Colorado. And, of course, many people are gravely concerned about this upcoming election, and about the threat of Trumpism and Trump-backed candidates like Lauren Boebert.

Here's the thing, folks. People are tuned in right now and are paying attention to the upcoming election. And when we connect with people and talk about the issues, we consistently win their support. Face-to-face conversations are the most high-impact tool in the toolkit for winning this race. Primary ballots were sent out this week, so the clock is ticking on our job to connect with thousands of Coloradans before Election Day.

Can you join us this week to talk with voters before the Primary?
