What your donation truly means.

Friend, The average online donation to our fight is $37.19! This is beyond what I ever expected. Gifts are coming from people on fixed incomes, people who are unemployed, and people living paycheck to paycheck!    I know firsthand what a donation of this…

Friend, Here in Colorado, our Senate campaign is on the road all the time. We’re meeting the people in every corner of this state and learning what they need in a Senator. But did you know we also have to get 10,500 valid signatures just to get on the ba…

It’s a big job, but I love to do it.

Friend, Whew! Covering the entire state of Colorado isn’t easy, but I knew going into this race nothing about it would be quick or easy. It’s a marathon to get from place to place, spreading our message.   But when I look at this map, I see so much more …

The truth about Colorado!

Friend -- Five years ago, Cory Gardner promised Coloradoans that he was a different kind of Republican—one that would hold his party accountable for what it does wrong. Since then, he’s done nothing of the sort. Actually, he’s done nothing except avoid a…

Hi Friend,   The results of the 2018 mid-term elections renewed much of the hope I’d lost after the 2016 general election. There is still an uphill battle against the alliance of corporate Democrats and Republicans who are committed to business as usual…

100% grassroots means YOU, not big money.

Friend, A Senate campaign has a lot of ground to cover—literally! We’re always out meeting the great people of Colorado. This means a lot of time on the road (and gas!), but when it comes to meeting people face to face to find out what they’d like to see…
