I'll be honest, folks. I never saw myself serving in the U.S. Senate.

This is a longer email about my story and how I came to fight for hardworking Coloradans in the Senate, and I hope you’ll read it until the end. But if you don’t have time, please, take a moment and chip in a couple bucks to my campaign before time runs out on our end-of-quarter deadline. → [[link removed]]

Back in the mid-1980s, I was a geologist – until I was laid off for 27 months. Then, I took every scrap of savings in my bank account and took a gamble on opening my own business, Wynkoop Brewing Company, in downtown Denver.

I remember working 80-hour weeks. I remember lying awake at night wondering how we were going to make it. And I remember being so angry that my government wasn't working for me.

So, I ran for Mayor. And once elected, I focused every day on making decisions based on what was best for Denver.

Then, I was elected Governor on the premise of uniting people, finding common ground, hashing things out, and getting things done.

And after we flipped Colorado’s Senate seat in 2020, I got my hands dirty working hard to deliver real change for Coloradans. We invested billions of dollars to confront the climate crisis, lowered prescription drug costs, made investments to rebuild our infrastructure, and brought thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs back to America.

But look, I’ve also seen how broken Washington is. I see politicians who only listen to those who cut big campaign checks while ignoring the rest of us. And it’s clear we need more leaders who are willing to cut through the political deadlock and work to move this country forward.

Here's why I'm telling you this: my story is the reason I remain grounded amid the nonsense and dysfunction that's happening in our government.

Because with all the chaos in Washington, you need somebody who rolls up their sleeves and fights every day for all of us – not just those they agree with.

Like I said, I never thought I'd find myself in the U.S. Senate, but I’m running for re-election because Coloradans deserve a leader they can trust to do right by them. And I'm just a geologist-turned-brewer who entered public service to do what's right for the people of my state.

That’s why I don't take money from corporate PACs like your typical politician. Instead, I rely on grassroots folks like you. And it’s why I'm depending on your contribution today to help us meet our first end-of-quarter fundraising goal of this election cycle. Even just $5 here or $10 there goes a long way in a campaign like ours.

So I have to ask: will you make a donation of whatever is meaningful to you before our deadline ends Monday night? Together, we can defend this seat we flipped back in 2020 and keep power in the hands of Coloradans: [[link removed]]
