Folks — I don't want to see Mitch McConnell back in charge, and I know you don't either. But things just went from bad to worse in my race that will decide Senate control:

First, polling showed me 3 points behind my opponent — a far-right extremist handpicked by Mitch McConnell who Donald Trump is personally fundraising for.

Then, the New York Times, Cook Political Report, and Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight all said that we’re in severe danger of losing this race — which would give McConnell the ONE seat he needs to take back Senate control.

Now, with less than 24 hours to go until tonight’s fundraising deadline, my finance director just called to tell me we're not on track to meet our goal. I talked to John and he said I should reach out to you right away.

I'm telling you all this because I need your help, folks. Falling short now could cost us this race and the Senate majority. But if everyone I'm reaching out to right now — including you — splits just a $3 donation, I know we can reach our goal and defend this must-win seat. Please, can I count on you?

We can’t let McConnell retake control — not this year, not EVER. So please, will you split $3 or more between my reelection campaign and John Hickenlooper? Your help to defend our Senate majority could not be more critical.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between John Hickenlooper and Catherine Cortez Masto will go through immediately:

I'm so grateful for your support. Thanks for giving what you can.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
