Hi, folks, it’s Michael.

I’m running for governor because our state’s future shouldn’t be compromised by President Trump’s chaos or the broken politics in D.C. The solutions that will best serve Colorado will come from the people who call this state home, working together.

If you agree, then I'm counting on you to chip in $5 or more toward my campaign's $20,000 end-of-month goal to help me make that happen by midnight tonight – but otherwise, I hope you'll give me a chance to explain:

Serving Coloradans means bringing folks in the public and private sectors together to build more affordable housing in our communities so people can live where they work.

It means making mental health services, health care and child care more accessible and affordable to every Coloradan.

It means bringing our education system into the 21st century so Coloradans have the opportunity to thrive, whether they graduate from high school or college.

It means protecting our public lands and building on Colorado’s leadership in the fight against climate change.

And it means forging better politics that show we can still work together and help us drive a stake through Trumpism.

Friend, I firmly believe that Colorado is the best state in the nation. And together, I know we can make it even better by building an economy that works for everyone and a democracy that belongs to all of us – but I can't make this vision a reality without you on my side.

I’m committed to the work ahead and would love if you came along for the ride. So if you're in, then please consider making a contribution toward my $20,000 goal before our August end-of-month deadline at 11:59 p.m. tonight.

Thanks,

Michael
