Michael’s team told me this month they’ve seen a slump in fundraising. And his self-funding opponent’s campaign is picking up steam. With our fundraising deadline coming up on Sunday, and the National GOP targeting Colorado as an opportunity to gain a Senate seat and the Senate majority, we’re counting on you. Please pitch in $10 to re-elect Michael so he can continue fighting for Coloradans in the Senate.
Not only did Michael’s opponent bankroll half of his campaign’s fundraising last quarter, but as the GOP’s official nominee, he could benefit from the over $200 million that the National GOP has raised to flip Democratic seats and put Mitch McConnell in charge. They’re doing everything they can to oust Senators like Michael who fight for working families, and not for corporate PACs or federal lobbyists.
Since people like you helped elect him, Michael:
- Passed legislation to ensure parents and guardians on WIC could purchase the baby formula they need to nourish their children in the wake of the formula shortage;
- Passed the expanded Child Tax Credit that kept nearly 4 million kids out of poverty, then ramped up his fight to make it permanent;
- Introduced legislation to protect women who cross state lines for abortions and the providers that support them;
- And he secured funding for road and bridge repairs that will create good-paying jobs here in Colorado.
Folks like Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott — chair of the GOP Senate campaign arm — are emboldened by a poll that put Michael down 1% to a GOP opponent and back-to-back rankings that show his seat in the top 10 most likely to flip this November. Just last week, McConnell said he was “all-in in Colorado” after endorsing Michael’s opponent.
They’re bankrolling attack ads nationwide and already have operatives on the ground in Colorado to distort Michael’s record and flip our state.
I’ve stood by Michael in tough races before. I know he can hold this seat with people like you powering his campaign.
Donate $10 before Sunday’s end-of-month fundraising deadline to defend Michael’s seat and our slim Senate majority.
