Hi folks, Michael Bennet here. You need to see this headline:
At a high-dollar Capitol Hill fundraiser last week, Mitch McConnell endorsed my self-funding opponent and pledged to spend whatever it takes to flip Colorado.
“I just want to assure everybody, we’re going to be all-in in Colorado.”
— Mitch McConnell

My opponent is Mitch McConnell’s “perfect candidate.” He might be the perfect candidate for McConnell, who could push a nationwide abortion ban. He might even be the perfect candidate for Senator Rick Scott — fellow event attendee and chair of the GOP Senate campaign arm — who has plans to increase taxes on seniors and low-income families.
But he’s not the perfect candidate for Coloradans.
My opponent is in favor of restricting reproductive rights and opposes common-sense gun legislation. He wants to waste taxpayer dollars on completing Trump’s wall, and he suggested cutting funding for Medicare and Social Security.
I’m proud of my work in the Senate — I’ve lowered taxes for families, banned surprise emergency medical bills, worked to hold Big Oil accountable for prices at the pump, and I am continuing the fight to protect reproductive choice nationwide.
Mitch McConnell, Rick Scott, and the National GOP have a $200 million war chest they can use to flip seats like mine by funneling money to help “perfect candidates” like my opponent. I’m running a grassroots campaign because I’m accountable to Colorado’s families, not corporate PACs.
We’re up against the National GOP fundraising machine and an opponent who’s dipping into his personal funds because grassroots enthusiasm for his campaign wasn’t cutting it. So we have to ask:
Will you split a donation of $10 today between my campaign and John Hickenlooper to help defend my seat from Mitch McConnell and the National GOP and keep Colorado blue?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper will go through immediately:
Together we can win and keep fighting for Colorado’s families,
Michael
