Hello —

I am going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign before our October fundraising deadline next week. Please give me a chance to explain why this request is so important, especially today.

Here’s the truth:

Our campaign is entering the final stretch of this election in the lead against Cory Gardner, but as we learned in 2016, nothing is certain — especially with Donald Trump on the ballot.

And while the media has been quick to write off this race, right-wing Republican groups controlled by Mitch McConnell have actually increased their attack spending in Colorado.

Right now we’re being outspent on TV and digital by a margin of 2:1 in the closing weeks of this election.

I can tell you from our internal tracking that there are still a lot of undecided and persuadable voters in this election. And our campaign desperately needs resources to reach every single one of them.

But right now our online fundraising has been dragging, and we cannot afford to be complacent in the most important moment of our campaign. So here’s where I need to ask:

Can you add a contribution of $10 to our campaign before next week’s fundraising deadline? I would not ask if I didn’t believe this race was close. Please, chip in today if you can:
