Folks, I’m not your typical politician.

For years, I was a geologist. Then, I got laid off and opened a brewpub in downtown Denver. Our flagship brews were the Timberland Pale and Sagebrush Stout — we sold them for $2.25 a pint.

I loved the brewpub. I loved bringing people together from all over and with different opinions, who would do something special for our community. And let me tell you, there was nothing we couldn’t solve over a nice, cold beer.

You know, I didn’t run for office for fame, money, or power — I ran for Senate because, like the brewpub, I wanted to bring people together to get stuff done. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.

So to mark National Beer Day today, I’m personally asking you to chip in just $4.50 — the price of our two flagship beers — to help us continue bringing people together and making progress on the issues that matter. You can pitch in right here:

I’ll never forget where I came from — a laid-off geologist turned brewer turned U.S. Senator. And I’ll never forget who I’m fighting for.

Thanks for everything,

John
