									| Friend, | 
								
									| Unless the GOP starts working with me and Senate Democrats to serve the American people over Donald Trump (and soon), up to 24 million folks – including 280,000 Coloradans – will see their premiums skyrocket when open enrollment begins on Saturday. | 
								
									| Trump and his allies have brought their cruelty to Colorado again and again. I’m running for governor to stop the damage – and to make sure every Coloradan can afford health care, housing, child care and the basics they need to build a good life. | 
								
									| But to ensure Colorado leads the fight against Trumpism as our next governor, I need help from YOU and 4,308 more grassroots supporters before my end-of-month deadline this Friday. | 
								
									|  | 
								
									| This isn't any arbitrary number. 5,691 small-dollar donations have been made to this campaign. Since we've launched, more Coloradans have given to this campaign than any other candidate's team. (Thank you!) | 
								
									| That's 5,691 contributions from people just like you powering this campaign one $1, $5 or $10 donation at a time. | 
								
									| 5,691 contributions from people who believe as I do that together, we can create solutions to our shared challenges. | 
								
									| 5,691 contributions from people who believe as I do that together, we can forge better politics than what we see on Capitol Hill and on cable news. | 
								
									| 5,691 contributions from people who believe as I do that together, we can make our state the best place to live, work, raise a family and retire with dignity. | 
								
									| 5,691 contributions from people who believe as I do that together, Colorado can provide the vision both the Democratic Party and the entire country urgently need. | 
								
									| So instead of setting a dollar-amount goal to reach by the end of the month, this time, I want us to focus on reaching a total of 10,000 small-dollar contributions by 11:59 p.m. on Halloween. But reaching it on time will take at least 4,309 more folks chipping in $5, $25 or any amount they can – even if only $1. So friend, can I please count on you? | 
								
									| If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | 
								
									| As Colorado's governor, I'll do everything in my power to protect your access to affordable health care, your ability to put food on the table and your essential state-run services from Trump's hostile agenda. | 
								
									| Because unlike Trump, I'm running to be a leader who works for everyone who calls Colorado home – not just the wealthy few. So I can't do it without you. | 
								
									| Thanks for everything,
 Michael
