Friend,

Campaigns are expensive.

From hiring staff and training volunteers, to keeping our ads on TV and digital platforms and shoring up our get-out-the-vote operation, there are countless moving pieces that require sustained funding in order to win.

Building a campaign that’s built to win tough races like this one requires discipline, so preparation is the name of the game. And here’s what we know: We’re up against a flood of money.

Whether it’s the $200 million-plus warchest that Mitch McConnell and the National GOP built to target seats like Michael’s or Mitch McConnell calling our self-funding opponent his “perfect candidate” and vowing to go “all-in in Colorado,” we can know for sure there will be huge sums of money spent against us in this critical stretch.

So as our team works to create plans from A to Z, knowing how much money we have coming in the door each month goes a long way. A monthly donation starting today will make our campaign as efficient as possible. With your help, we’ll be able to plan ahead and know how many ads we can run, how many organizers we can hire, and so much more.

Michael doesn’t take a dime from federal lobbyists or corporate PACs, which is why we’re asking you for help. We are powered by your support, and the best way to show that support is by starting a monthly donation today.

So we're asking: Can you commit to being a monthly supporter today? The amount is completely up to you — even a $5 or $10 monthly donation will make a difference.

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

Thanks so much for all your support.
