Friend, I want to hear directly from you.

Let’s talk about what issues and concerns are top of mind for you. Friend, it’s Michael.  Since I launched this campaign, I’ve been listening to Coloradans in every corner and community across our great state.  The dream of owning your own home feels out of reach. Childcare and healthcare costs kee…

Wow, throwback to our first TV ad!

Hi team, it’s Michael.  My team and I were recently going through some of our old campaign footage and came across this gem–my first-ever TV ad, when I first ran for the Senate.  While my girls have grown up, one thing hasn’t changed: I’m still fighting for Colorado.   You can check out our first-…

Trump’s “beautiful” bill will hurt Coloradans.

Hi team,  President Trump and his Republican Party are a disaster for working families.  The "big, beautiful bill" they just passed cut more than $1 trillion from health care and food assistance programs—gutting Medicaid and SNAP to help fund another tax break for their ultra-wealthy donors.  In C…

Our winning coalition includes you.

Hi team,  If there is one thing Michael knows about winning elections here in Colorado, it’s that you need a big, broad coalition that includes as many Coloradans as possible. Whether you live on the Front Range, Western Slope, Eastern Plains, or in the San Luis Valley you have a place in our camp…

This is what we’re up against.

Hi team,  A new Republican opponent recently entered this race—not just any opponent, either, but an ultra-wealthy opponent who plans to spend millions of his own dollars to fund his campaign.  And he’s not alone…  Right now, there are five Republicans running to be the next Governor of Colorado… …

I’m used to people underestimating me

Hello friend, Michael said I could reach out. I’m Dan Osborn, the blue-collar mechanic and former union president running for U.S. Senate here in Nebraska against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts. I’m used to people underestimating me. It’s been happening my whole life.  When Kellogg’s tried to …

Winning the Colorado Way

Hi team,  Right now, the Democratic Party is looking for a path forward—a path to broad wins in 2026, defeating Trumpism, and truly representing our working families at the state and national levels.  Michael firmly believes Colorado is paving that path forward. If you believe in Michael as much a…

This is an assault on the free press.

One that we still have a chance of beating. Hi team,  This week, the U.S. Senate will vote on President Trump’s request to slash $1 billion in funding to public broadcasters NPR and PBS.  If you believe, like I do, that a free, fair, and independent press is a fundamental core of our democracy, ple…

A record of fighting for our state.

Hi team,  If there is one thing Coloradans hold close to our hearts, it’s our public lands. Our lands have incredible cultural, economic, and recreational value that people across the world travel to experience for themselves.  Michael Bennet knows this and, for years, has been a leading advocate …

We have a new Republican opponent in this race.

Hi team,  We have a big campaign update: A new Republican opponent has entered our race.  And while you’ve probably never heard of Will McBride, he’s trying to change that with his personal fortune. He previously (and unsuccessfully) ran for the U.S. Senate in Florida, where he loaned his own camp…

They’re throwing working families under the bus.

We won’t let them get away with it.

Team, a huge thank you.

Friend, it’s Michael. I know you’ve heard a lot from me and my team in the last week about our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline.  I’ll be honest: fundraising is one of my least favorite parts of this job. But in a statewide race like ours, hitting our goals is really important—especially since …
