Team, the stories of women being denied vital health care since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision are infuriating and heartbreaking.

Pregnant women with cancer being forced to delay treatment because it could harm their fetus. Women with miscarriages being denied abortions at grave risk to their health. A young girl having to travel across state lines in order to end a pregnancy that was the product of rape.

Let me be very, very clear about this: As your representative, I will work night and day to end the suffering caused by the overturning of Roe v. Wade and pass federal legislation reinstating the rights that the Supreme Court took away.

And I also need to be very clear about the differences here between me and my opponent: 

In this race, I am up against an extremist Republican who applauded the overturning of Roe v. Wade — and who opposes the law I helped pass in Colorado that protects the right to choose in this state.

This seat is one of just a handful that will determine whether we have a pro-choice majority in Congress to protect the right to choose nationwide. We’re only up two points in the polls, and we’re being attacked every day by my anti-choice opponent and his dark-money allies.

I don’t like having to ask for help, but the truth is we can’t win this race if we don’t fight back harder and compete for every vote, and I would hate for this to be the seat that costs Democrats a pro-choice House majority.

If you’re with me, I would be humbled and grateful for your support. Here is a link to pitch in today:

Thank you,
