I want to say something that may sound a little odd coming from a member of Congress, but I think you’ll agree: Elections aren’t only about the candidates on the ballot or the political party they belong to.

Elections are about consequences — both positives and negatives.

In general, I like to focus on the positive consequences of winning an election: The progress we can make, the freedoms we can protect, and the lives we can save.

But if this year has taught us one thing, it’s this: The negative consequences of losing an election are enormous.

Because Democrats lost an election last year, so many LGBTQ+ kids have lost their support systems. Families are struggling to put food on the table. Thousands of Coloradans will lose their health insurance.

Elections are about choices — and next year’s midterms couldn’t be more consequential.

This is one of those moments where I’m really counting on folks like you to step up. Because what we accomplish together in the next 6 hours before our next fundraising deadline really, truly matters. If you could pitch in to help us reach our goal and defend this seat, I’d be extremely grateful.

With gratitude,

Brittany
