Hello John
In a minute, I’m going to ask you to sign up to make calls for Andrew Romanoff, who’s got a crucial election on Tuesday. But first, I want to explain why his election is so important.
Ever since we put the Green New Deal in the national spotlight in 2018, we’ve been clear we need to do two things in November 2020 to have a shot at making it a reality:
- Defeat Donald Trump
- Take control of the Senate back from Mitch McConnell
In order to take back the Senate, we need Democrats to win three Senate seats. Colorado’s Senator, Cory Gardner, is one of the most vulnerable Senate Republicans and if things go our way on Tuesday we’ll have a Green New Deal champion running against him in November.
Sunrise has endorsed Andrew Romanoff because we’re confident that he is the best candidate to defeat Cory Gardner. His opponent, John Hickenlooper, was found guilty earlier this month of an ethics violation while serving as Governor and he accepts money from fossil fuel lobbyists and CEOs in a state ravaged by the fracking industry.
Here’s the bottom line: This Tuesday’s election is a pivotal one for the Green New Deal. I’m asking you to sign up for two volunteer shifts to make calls to Colorado voters before polls close Tuesday evening.
Sign up to make calls for Andrew Romanoff
I want to be honest -- Andrew Romanoff is the underdog in this race. Even though he’s won the endorsements of major Colorado papers and elected officials, the Democratic establishment in Washington is pouring big money into ads supporting Hickenlooper and reaching millions of voters every day.
The only way we can pull this off is if folks like you join the thousands of people with Sunrise and Andrew’s campaign to make a historic amount of phone calls in the final days. Phone calls are the best way to make sure people know about Andrew and hear about why he’s the best candidate to help us flip the Senate and pave the way for the Green New Deal. And with every conversation, we’re helping build the movement in a key state.
Can you sign up for two 2-hour phone bank shifts before Tuesday night?
Andrew is an incredible leader, but don’t just take my word for it, check out his closing campaign ad, and I bet you’ll want to make some calls for him right away.
