It’s important that you see this graph:

We noticed a significant drop in fundraising after our end-of-quarter deadline, and we’re hoping this isn’t the start of a summer slump. Around this time, folks are spending time with their families, enjoying the weather outdoors, and taking an understandable break from reading emails like this one.

A slump in fundraising at the start of the general election — against a self-funding candidate who paid his way onto the ballot — does not help our work keeping Colorado blue.

Michael banned surprise emergency medical bills; secured repairs for our roads and bridges, that will create good-paying jobs; and expanded access to high-speed internet — and he’s continuing to fight to protect the right to choose nationwide.

But with Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott working overtime to flip seats like Michael’s, consistent support from folks like you could make all of the difference. A monthly gift starting today will help us stay on course as summer fundraising dips. We can continue to power the ads, volunteer training, and more that it will take to defend Michael’s seat in this challenging midterm election year.

Michael won his last midterm election race by just 1.7%. Start a monthly donation today to help us defend his seat in the longterm from his self-funding opponent.

A monthly donation started at this early stage of the general election will have a stronger impact than a one-time gift just days before Election Day. It takes long-term power to defeat the National GOP, so we hope you’ll start a monthly donation today to re-elect Michael Bennet and protect our Senate majority.

Thank you and talk soon,

Team Bennet

P.S. Michael doesn’t take a penny from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists because he works for folks like you — not them. Our campaign is powered by grassroots supporters, so if you’re unable to start a monthly donation today: Click here to make a one-time gift to re-elect Michael Bennet.
