Hey Team — in a moment, I’m going to ask you to pitch in and help my campaign catch up to our fundraising goal before tonight’s deadline, which is just hours away.

But first, here are three things I want you to know about why it’s so important that we make our fundraising benchmarks, because this isn’t arbitrary. It really matters. Here’s why:

1) Colorado Republicans just selected a far-right, extremist, election denier as their new leader.

2) The new GOP leader promised to go on “offense, offense, offense” against Democrats like me. Subtext: We can expect to be hit with a blizzard of false attack ads between now and next year’s election.

3) We spent almost every cent we had defending against GOP attacks in the last election, and our fundraising has been slower than expected out of the gate to start 2023. We need that to change, and fast, if we’re going to put ourselves in a winning position.

Team, I’m reaching out personally because getting a fundraising boost right now really matters. It’s as simple as that. Will you pitch in before midnight so that we can catch up to our fundraising goal — putting us in a position to defend this seat and retake our House majority?

Let’s send a message to the Colorado Republican Party that if they mobilize around extremism, we will mobilize around our fundamental values — values like democracy, freedom, and opportunity for all, which I’m fighting for every day in Congress.

This team comes through every time the going gets tough, and I know we will rise to the occasion once again. Thank you so much for everything you do, friend.
