Dear Friend,

Since announcing my campaign to become Colorado’s Governor, I am amazed at the level of support I have received on this campaign—including contributions from over 5,000 donors—and meaningful engagement with people across Colorado. To give you a snapshot of our progress, here’s a summary in one graphic:

Let me highlight a few key moments: I appeared on seven podcasts, including Wayne’s Word (a right-leaning podcast), The Next 150 with CSU President Amy Parsons, Crooked Media’s What a Day, Mile High Magazine, Denver City Cast, WGNU’s Verity Matthews, and, a personal favorite, my son’s youth group podcast.

Speaking of youth, the response to our student fellows program has been overwhelming. This program will be a cornerstone of our summer plans to engage Coloradans and listen closely to what our state needs from our next Governor. It’s not too late to apply—for those interested, they can find the application here.

At my town halls, I’ve witnessed a strong desire for leaders who will stand up and fight for Colorado. As Governor, I promise I will always fight for all Coloradans–on the Front Range and in rural Colorado. That’s why we’ve taken action to stand up for Costilla County and to challenge the illegal termination of a program that supports a pipeline of teachers for rural Colorado.

On March 8th, I joined over 1,500 Coloradans at a town hall in Lakewood with Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen, discussing critical issues like Medicaid cuts, federal worker layoffs, and the road ahead.

In Colorado, we care about one another and work together to succeed. That spirit is driving my campaign and creating a network effect of engaging more and more people. As we look ahead to the next quarter, I appreciate your support and welcome your continued engagement. We have important work to do to meet the challenges ahead.

Thanks for being part of my team!
