We’ll be brief: Michael’s first debate with his Republican opponent, Joe O’Dea, is just over 24 hours away — but we’re still pacing behind our 1,500 donation goal for debate week.

Ballots are in the mail, about 12% of voters remain undecided, and you can bet Joe O’Dea’s National GOP allies (especially Mitch McConnell, who gave him $1.25 million dollars just a few weeks ago) will help him drum up support as soon as he steps off the stage tomorrow.

We need to build up the resources right now to fight back and defend Michael. Chip in to help us make up ground before the first debate by using this personalized link: actblue.com/donate/[email protected]

In just a moment I’m going to ask you to pitch in $10 or $25 to support our campaign. Before I do, I want to tell you about two potential turning points in this race that are rapidly approaching.

In just two days, I’m getting on stage for the first of two televised debates with my Republican opponent. With voting underway in Colorado, this is a huge opportunity to get our message out loud and clear while Coloradans are casting their ballots.

On Friday, I’ll debate my opponent again for the final time. As soon as I step off stage, we’ll have to pivot our focus to another key moment: our final end-of-month fundraising deadline of the entire race, on Monday.

It’s critical we finish this month strong because it’s our last chance to scale up our efforts in the final days before Election Day. That’s why I am setting the biggest fundraising goal of our entire campaign: 1,500 email donations during debate week.

Can you please contribute $10 or $25 to help hit our 1,500 donor goal? I know it’s ambitious, but this team has stepped up whenever I’ve called on you. Please do so one more time so we can finish this campaign strong.

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

If we come up short, our team may be forced to make tough decisions about where to cut ads, outreach, or organizing efforts. With National Republicans quietly shifting their focus to Colorado right now, we really can’t afford to scale back.

Thank you for stepping up,

Michael
