Hello —
This is not the email I wanted to send today, but I need you to know where things stand. Here’s what’s going on:
I just had to make drastic cuts to our budget because our fundraising has unexpectedly fallen so far behind in these crucial last weeks.
- $100,000 from our digital ad budget — cut
- $60,000 from our mail budget — cut
- $15,000 from our GOTV efforts — cut
This could not have come at a worse time.
Mitch McConnell and his dark money allies just added $1.5 million to their ad buys attacking John and bolstering Gardner. That’s ON TOP of the $36 million they are already spending. This means we are being outspent 2:1 in the most critical period of this election.
So, I’m asking for your help. With only two weeks until Election Day, will you make an urgent donation right now to John Hickenlooper’s campaign? Unless we can fill these holes in our budget, there’s a pretty good chance we could lose our race.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thank you for stepping up at this important moment.
