We like leaders like Brittany who are always willing to tell it like it is. We’re willing to bet you feel the same way.

With that in mind, we’ll be upfront: Yes, this is a fundraising email. Today, we’re asking you to give $3 to Brittany Pettersen — and here are three reasons why:

1. Brittany represents the most competitive Democratic district in Colorado. There’s no other way to put it: if Democrats want to take back the House in November, it starts with holding must-win seats like Colorado’s 7th.


2. Brittany’s background stands out in Washington. Think Congress needs more young moms? More leaders with working-class backgrounds? More people who know what real families are going through — Brittany has worked to support her families since she was 12 years old. If that describes you, Brittany Pettersen is the fresh voice you’re looking for.


3. Unlike a lot of Republicans, Brittany can’t self-fund a campaign. If you’ve ever taken a deep dive into candidates’ finance reports, you’ve probably seen dozens of Republican candidates use their personal fortunes to bankroll their campaigns. Not Brittany. She doesn’t come from generational wealth — which means she needs to win competitive elections the old-fashioned way: Building a movement one supporter, and one dollar at a time.

Brittany Pettersen isn’t your typical member of Congress — and we think that’s a good thing. But it’s going to take all of us to push back against the Colorado GOP’s attacks and keep her there. Please, donate $3 (or more if you can!) to make sure Brittany has every resource she needs to win.

With gratitude,

Team Pettersen
