Hi, friend!! Captain Flint and Bandit here – the furriest (and Dad's favorite) members of the Bennet family!

As a cat and dog respectively, we don't always get along. But there's one thing on which we can agree: Our dad would be Colorado's best governor ever!

Whether it's lowering health care costs, ensuring affordable housing and child care for working families, or protecting our home state's natural beauty – he'll always dig deep to make Colorado the best state to live, work, and raise a family. Even when things get ruff.

When it comes to every person and pet that calls our state home, he'll never roll over for Trump’s or D.C. Republicans’ barking mad, fat-cat-funded paw-licies.

And after years spent convening folks to take on our state's greatest challenges and deliver solutions, he's the only candidate in this race who could get a cat and a dog to work together to send an email like this.

But there's one more thing you fur-gently need to know: Dad's staring down his biggest end-of-month fundraising deadline yet in this race on Sunday night.

With all his free time to give us belly rubs being gobbled up by his hard work in the U.S. Senate and on the campaign trail here at home, we're helping by lending him our biggest, most irresistible puppy dog (and kitty cat) eyes to beg for your help – because since he's running a grassroots campaign, he needs all paws on deck to reach his $30,000 goal before the deadline.

So 🥺 PRETTY PRETTY PLEEEEASE 🥺 friend, will you throw our dad a bone by chipping in $5, $25 or anything you can to help him close the gap right now?

(Full disclosure – if he reaches this goal on time thanks to donations to this email, he’ll be so happy we might even get a few extra Greenies and Fancy Feasts 😋)

Thanks fur everything – kisses!! 😘
