Friend, I recently gave my first major speech of the campaign season. Here's a quick recap:

Lauren Boebert doesn't care about the people of CO-04. She carpetbagged into this district, continues to ignore constituents, and voted to slash cancer care for veterans, give tax breaks for billionaires and end safety nets for our farmers, families and rural hospitals.

But this seat doesn't belong to her. It belongs to us.

That's why I stepped up to run – I'm from here, raised on Colorado values, and I know what the people of this district need: good-paying jobs, lower costs, secure crops and better care. 

But I don't have billionaire friends writing checks to fund my campaign. What I do have is you – and if I'm going to pull ahead and prove that this movement is going strong, I need to raise at least $5,000 before midnight tonight. 

So please, will you chip in $5 or more to my campaign today to defeat Lauren Boebert, win this race and flip the House blue for Democrats?

Let's show Lauren Boebert that there are some things money can't buy, corruption can't crush and greed can't steal.

Thank you.
