John – I’m John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democrat running to flip the most vulnerable Republican-held seat in the country blue.
If you've been following Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight, you know that Democrats face a tough fight to take back the Senate. Winning here in Colorado could make the difference between flipping the Senate, protecting health care and combating climate change – or giving Mitch McConnell a blank slate for his far-right agenda.
As Colorado's former governor, I know I can win here – but with the stakes so high, Catherine thought I should reach out and ask for your help today.
I'm ready to put Colorado and the country on a better path forward. But I'm facing down millions of dollars that McConnell and special interests are pouring into my state to prop up their handpicked rubber stamp and keep an obstructionist hold on the Senate. They’re launching a final round of attack ads against me to sink my campaign – and with Coloradans already voting early in record numbers, it's never been more important we keep getting out our message.
But with just hours left until our midnight fundraising deadline, my campaign is falling short of where we need to be. So, John, if you're all in to stop Mitch McConnell from standing in the way of progress on the issues that matter most to both of us, will you make a gift to my campaign?

I know we can win in Colorado and flip the Senate, John – but not without the support of grassroots Democrats like you. This is our best shot, and I thank you for helping us bring this home.
