Team –

I was one of the first candidates for federal office to take a pledge to reject all corporate PAC money – a pledge that’s still too rarely taken in politics today. When we ran for Senate in 2020, we stayed firm in that decision. And now that I’m running for reelection for this seat, in the spirit of New Year’s resolutions, I am vowing once again: Our campaign will not take a dime of corporate PAC money.

To tell you the truth, it was a straightforward decision.

I never planned to run for office. I started my career as a geologist and then started a small business in Downtown Denver. I only threw my hat in the ring because I was fed up with the corruption plaguing so much of our politics – corruption that too often stems from our campaign finances – and I wanted to do something about it.

That’s why our campaigns have always been fueled by grassroots contributions, not corporate PACs or shady billionaires. Because public service is about representing YOU and your family, not the wealthy and well-connected.

But the reality is that decision comes with a price. You better believe that tons of big corporations will write even bigger checks to get access to politicians. And with the field of MAGA extremists running against us continuing to grow, we could be at a serious financial disadvantage if we don’t raise the grassroots resources to keep up.

So we have to ask. If you believe in our vow to reject corporate PAC money and agree that the Senate should not be for sale, can you please chip in to our campaign today?

Thank you for pitching in,

John
