Hi team, Jacob here. I’m the Digital Director for John Hickenlooper’s campaign. My job is a lot of what goes on behind the curtain: sending texts and emails like this one (sorry!), keeping our online fundraising on track, ensuring our message reaches people on every platform, and yes, troubleshooting video takes from time to time.

If you already know you want to help us start December strong, here’s the link our team watches most closely:

Now I’ll explain why this email matters.

As someone who keeps an eye on our ActBlue numbers daily (and, fine, sometimes every minute), I can tell you our next FEC filing is coming up, and everything we raise online gets published for the whole world to review. Reporters, political operatives, outside groups, and especially the folks gearing up to run against John all study these filings to see if our grassroots team is as strong as it needs to be heading into 2026.

Since John doesn’t take corporate PAC money, our report doesn’t hide who powers this campaign. It’s you. It’s thousands of small donations. And it’s the level of enthusiasm people show during months exactly like this one.

That’s why December is so important. It sets the tone for the start of an election year, and it signals whether we have the resources to run a people-powered operation that can withstand the outside spending we know is coming.

So if you’re able, even a small donation today makes a real impact on the report we’re preparing.

Thanks for sticking with us through the holidays and the “off-years.” It isn’t glamorous, but it’s the backbone of how we’ll keep Colorado’s Senate seat blue next year.

Appreciate you,

Jacob
Digital Director
Hickenlooper for Colorado
