From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

John, I got into this race long before it became a focal point of national attention. Before Ken Buck announced his early retirement, and before Boebert carpet-bagged her way into the Eastern Plains looking for an easy win. I always knew it was going to be a hard fight, but I’m used to hard fights. …

There are a million reasons why Boebert is unfit, but this is a BIG one

John, When the US Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs v Jackson decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, deadly chaos ensued.   Today, people in 21 GOP-controlled states across the nation live under total or near-total abortion bans. Forced birth, abortion refugees, and shut-down maternity wards are no…

Asking a huge favor

John,  I know we’re sending a lot of emails, and I know you understand why it’s so important we keep up the momentum all the way to the finish line on Tuesday night.  I’m not willing to look back on Wednesday morning and wish we’d done more to win this, so I’m here to ask a huge favor from you.   We…

In case you missed it, John, my team reached out earlier this week with BIG news. The Associated Press is reporting that we’ve outraised Boebert AGAIN heading into this primary. It’s true that we’re still outraising AND out-polling Lauren Boebert. But that doesn’t mean we can rest. MAGA donors all …

Stop Boebert and MAGA’s war on reproductive rights

John, The Supreme Court’s decision this week to preserve access to abortion pills is a big win for reproductive rights, but don’t be fooled — it doesn't stop the danger. The ruling left the door wide open for more conservative attacks on reproductive care, and they’ve already started.  Just before t…

Boebert: “Well, if it isn’t Mr. Up 14 Points”

Look who we ran into at the Elizabeth Stampede this weekend, John. 👀Boebert knew exactly who I was, and she didn’t look happy to see me there. She stared straight ahead and said “Well, if it isn’t Mr. Up 14 points...” Boebert doesn’t want to face me because she knows I’m the only candidate in this r…

Families are being poisoned in Eastern Colorado

John, Imagine paying $200 a month for water that's poisoning your family.  This is the reality for our friends and neighbors in Morgan County where the water is contaminated with uranium and radioactive lead.   This is a public health emergency.

Boebert’s gift to Putin.

John, In case you missed it, this week Lauren Boebert joined 45 other Republicans in voting for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment to defund NATO.

Boebert will stop at NOTHING to end abortion nationwide

John, In a recent Republican debate, Lauren Boebert proudly declared she would support “any abortion restriction” that came up for a vote in Congress.  Let’s be clear about what that means: she would support blocking abortions even in cases of sexual assault and when the life of the mother is immine…

Lauren Boebert is a joke. Climate change isn’t.

John, Last week I told you about a little “joke” Lauren Boebert made almost a year ago about climate change.  Apparently she still thinks it’s funny, because a few days ago she repeated it at the Republican debate: It’s no surprise to me that Boebert treats an existential threat to our national secu…

We’re going to tackle the housing crisis in CO-04

Dishonesty will get us nowhere

John, In the GOP debate a couple of nights ago, Lauren Boebert was asked about the threat that our campaign poses to her winning in CO-04. She dodged the question by bringing up our primary.  Why? Because she knows that only our multi-cycle campaign, and the bipartisan support I have developed over …

Boebert treats this like a joke. John, “I will go on the record with you all tonight and say that I absolutely believe in climate change.
