Team,
I just wanted to make sure you saw John’s note from yesterday because what he talks about is so important.
As it becomes more clear that this race is a toss-up, Trump and McConnell are rushing to Cory Gardner’s side to try to hold the Senate majority—and it’s going to take a full team effort to fight back.
Check out John’s note, then please chip in whatever you can before our monthly deadline:
Thank you,

Friend,
November’s been a game-changing month for this race.
Democrats’ chances of winning back the Senate hinge on Colorado—and a lot of people have taken notice. Both FiveThirtyEight and Roll Call confirmed this is one of the most flippable Senate seats in the entire country, and POLITICO just called our race a toss-up.
In response, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump have ramped up their efforts to hang on to the majority. Here’s just some of what they’ve been up to:
-
Trump fundraised for senators who he’s hoping will back him on impeachment, convincing his online supporters to donate over $100,000 to Cory Gardner.
-
On top of that, Trump has been headlining high-dollar fundraisers in-person for Gardner.
-
Mitch McConnell is calling in favors from special interests to direct dark money to races that will decide the Senate majority. We expect them to spend big time here.
-
That’s all happening right now… and we’re just under a year out! As Donald Trump gets more desperate over impeachment, and as Mitch McConnell gets more worried about losing his Senate majority, we can expect these efforts to get even more intense.
We’ve made big strides in closing the fundraising gap since we launched this campaign. But fighting back against their fundraising juggernaut is going to take a full team effort.
Can you chip in for the first time to get a head start on our November monthly deadline?
Thank you,
John
