Late last night, the Colorado GOP finalized their slate of opponents in hopes of flipping Michael’s seat.

And, team, January 6th insurrectionist and climate change denier Ron Hanks secured his spot on the primary ballot.

Hanks’s momentum has grown steadily week after week and this is the next big step toward becoming the Republican nominee to go head-to-head against Michael. A recent poll showed Michael down by 1% to a GOP opponent, so we need to have the campaign infrastructure in place to defend Michael’s seat from an opponent like Ron Hanks.

Read more about his background below, then pitch in a donation of any amount to re-elect Michael to the Senate so he can continue working to create jobs, fighting for working families, and lowering health care costs in our state.

Thanks,

Team Bennet

FIRST: Proud January 6th insurrectionist and Michael Bennet’s leading Republican opponent, State Rep. Ron Hanks won a straw poll following a Republican primary debate, beating out other Republican Senate candidates.

THEN: Republican Colorado State Representatives voted in favor of thanking Hanks for taking part in one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.

NOW: National outlets like CNN and Politico have been giving Hanks extensive coverage.

Make no mistake, team: This momentum is putting a spotlight on Hanks that is drawing supporters into his campaign, so we have to act fast.

Ron Hanks rallied with rioters who attempted to overthrow our democracy. His views are extreme, and he doesn’t represent Colorado’s values.

Michael is fighting for Coloradans, while Republicans threaten the foundations of our democracy. Pitch in $10 today to help stop Hanks’s momentum in its tracks.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

While Ron Hanks defended the 3/5ths compromise, Michael secured monthly Child Tax Credit payments that kept nearly 4 million kids out of poverty. As Hanks touted Trump's Big Lie, Michael passed a once-in-a-generation infrastructure bill to fix our roads and bridges, and to create jobs all over Colorado.

Ron Hanks’s priorities are clear. He is out to undermine democracy, put Donald Trump before Colorado, and grind our progress to a halt.

Donate $10 — or what works for your budget — to keep Colorado out of the dangerous hands of Ron Hanks so Michael can keep delivering for workers and families.

We’re in this together,
