Hi there, folks —
When I was little, I was just about the worst hitter Little League had ever seen. I was small, skinny, and younger than most of the other kids. By the time I turned 12, I accepted the hard truth: that I would never be able to hit a curveball.
But my dad loved baseball. And I was determined to keep playing in his memory.
So every day, my teammate Henry and I would work on my pitches. For hours at a time, I’d throw and throw and throw. After two years of backyard throwing, my curveballs finally started to well... curve.
The Hickenlooper Curve, we called it.
Then, the guys who used to laugh at the small, skinny kid on the pitching mound started striking out — and I learned one of the greatest lessons about determination, hard work, and perseverance.
Here’s why I’m telling you this: this story is why I remain grounded amid the partisan politics and nonsense happening in our government.
Because with all the chaos and dysfunction in Washington, you need somebody who will roll up their sleeves and get to work. You need someone who is willing to fight and work twice as hard for our communities.
But right now, National Republicans are hellbent on growing their Senate majority, and we know they won’t hesitate to spend millions to replace me with a rubber stamp for Trump’s extreme agenda.
Look, I’ve dealt with my fair share of obstacles, and I believe we can overcome them with you on our team. We did it once before, and I’m counting on it now. So, I’m asking:
Will you make a donation right now to my campaign for re-election? Anything you can spare would mean the world to me. [[link removed]]

Coloradans deserve a Senator who fights for them, not wealthy special interests. That’s why I’m depending on your contribution today to power this team. Even just a couple bucks here or there goes a long way.
Let’s strike ‘em out.
