Friend – with just 9 hours left until our final fundraising deadline of 2025, I'm about to say something you've heard every candidate say before:

I need you to join this team by pitching in $5 now.

We've seen an astounding surge of grassroots support from thousands of folks like you over the last 24 hours.

It's just what we needed to close most of the gap to our ambitious $100,000 goal by midnight tonight – but not quite all.

So we're pretty much there, but if you could donate $5, $25, $40, $75, $100, $250 – literally anything you can throw our way now – we could shore up these last few hundred bucks, close our books a little earlier, and log off in time to ring in the new year when the ball drops tonight. And that would be awesome.

If we pull this off, we'll enter the 2026 cycle tomorrow with the renewed energy to hit the campaign trail firing on all cylinders and the resources to stay focused on becoming governor on election night. So please, help us out before the end of 2025.

Have fun, stay safe tonight, and I wish you all the best in the new year.

Thanks for being a part of this team in 2025 – and in 2026.

Michael Bennet
