Friend,

I'm fighting tooth and nail to hash out a deal that'll keep the government open, save ACA tax credits and repeal the cruel Medicaid cuts in Trump's Big, Bad Bill – now law.

But Senate Republicans would rather let regular Americans' health premiums skyrocket than negotiate with Democrats – and that's a major reason why I'm running to carry on the fight for Coloradans from our home state.

So with just a few days until my biggest quarterly fundraising deadline so far in the governor's race and a $100,000 goal to hit by Sept. 30, is there anything I can say that would convince you to chip in today to help me close the 38% gap?

Because what if I told you that with Trump's allies in power across all three branches in Washington, D.C., the most effective resistance to his disastrous agenda will come from the states? 

What if I told you that as governor, I'll fight like hell to protect Coloradans' ACA and Medicaid coverage from Trump?

What if I told you that to do all of the above, I first need the resources to win this race – so reaching my $100,000 end-of-quarter goal by 11:59 p.m. this Tuesday is make-or-break?

And, friend, what if I told you that I don't stand a chance of closing the 38% shortfall left to my goal on time without you?

I only ask because it's the honest truth – so if you're able, will you please rush $5, $25 or anything you can right now to help me bring home the fight as our next governor and build a brighter future for every Coloradan – not just the wealthy few?

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Michael
