can you share your thoughts?

Friend, Have you ever taken a survey and felt like no one would read it? Well, this survey won't go unread. I’ve been traveling across Colorado - talking with people from all walks of life. I’ve heard a lot about what’s working and what isn’t. But I can’t talk to everyone in person, so t…

heading out

Hi, folks – Michael here. I'm on the way to visit voters in Adams County: our first stop for March's leg of the Our Colorado statewide tour.  Collage of Michael Bennet from the Our Colorado statewide tour [link removed] Last month, we traveled across Colorado’s counties: from Clear Creek…

Joe Neguse helped take down Kristi Noem

Folks – as soon as the headlines broke about Kristi Noem's firing this week, I reached out to share the good news. But today, I have to give credit where credit's due: to my friend and fellow Coloradan on the other side of the Hill, Rep. Joe Neguse. Had he not highlighted the egregious fraud o…

Trump is trying to rig the midterms

BREAKING: Look, folks: Donald Trump's Republican Party has repeatedly shown us their ultimate goal is NOT to represent us, but to rule the country. Michael Bennet says it's high time we believe them – so he needs your insight as he plans how to protect our democracy from Trump's foul play. …

Not every time, of course – but why not today?

Hi there, folks –  I know I ask you to give a lot, and I know it might not always fit in your budget. So please understand: I do not expect you to give every time I ask. In fact, only a handful of folks give to any of our emails – but they're still our best way to keep in touch with the people…

Good Riddance

Friend, President Trump just fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.  Not because of the lawlessness of her department, the deaths that occurred in DHS custody, or even the Americans killed by ICE agents in our city streets. He fired her because she embarrassed him.  Good riddance.  For one, Noem …

Under no circumstances should Tina Peters be released.

From Colorado Public Radio: Uncertainty about a reduced sentence for Tina Peters causes frustration and confusion Let's get this straight, folks: Tina Peters, the former clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, tampered with voting machines in the 2020 election to show the results were rigged agains…

my pledge to you

Stop the chaos. Hold the line. Folks, this is what elected leaders must do in the face of an administration that is intent on destroying our democracy for their own gain. I have spent my career working for North Carolinians. Advocating for more resources for students in public schools and better p…

If Trump comes for Colorado, he'll have to go through me

In the Senate, I've never been afraid to stand up to Donald Trump or anyone who threatens Colorado communities and our way of life, friend. So I can't sit on the sidelines in Washington as Trump's administration brings violence and chaos to states that refuse to bend the knee. That's why I'm r…

Sign Now: No New ICE Facility in CO

Friends, I'm horrified. The Department of Homeland Security is trying to open a new ICE detention center here in Colorado.  The last thing we need is another immigration detention center in Colorado. That's why I'm calling on Secretary Noem and the DHS to ABANDON their plans for a new dete…

FWD: This is huge

Folks – I wanted to make sure you got my message from the other day about filing over 17,000 grassroots signatures to appear on the ballot. We just sailed past our first big hurdle in Colorado's governor's race! We're putting the pedal to the metal, and we gotta do it all the way to Election Day. …

This is huge

This is huge, team: With over 17,000 signatures from voters across Colorado, I filed the paperwork on Friday to officially appear on the ballot for the governor's race. This is an important milestone on the road to Election Day – and I couldn't be prouder of how we've kept up our incredible mo…

I'll keep this brief

Hey, friend – this will be brief: The good news is that we’re still pacing behind our goal on our $60,000 end-of-month goal.  The bad news is that my finance director, Sam, just let me know that at the rate donations are coming in, we won't reach it by tonight's deadline. But on the bright …

my phone's about to die

My phone battery's at 3%, folks, so this'll be quick: Just a reminder that since February is the shortest month of the year, our end-of-month deadline's at 11:59 p.m. TOMORROW NIGHT – because we're still about 5.3% short of our $60,000 goal. If we plan on winning the gov race & seeing CO lead …

I'm sorry to bother you again, friend, but I have to ask you once more to make your first donation to this campaign once more before midnight. [link removed] Because you know our first major fundraising deadline of the election year is just hours away. You know we've got a $60,000 goal to r…

re: the most appalling voter suppression bill in U.S. history

Friend, this week at the State of the Union, Donald Trump doubled down on the SAVE America Act, and encouraged the Senate to pass it as soon as possible. He's trying to bar tens of millions of eligible citizens from voting in the midterms. So any day now, Republicans could force through the worst …

A humble request on behalf of Mark

Team, we’ll get right to the point.  We’re asking you to make a donation to Mark Kelly and Michael Bennet.  If that’s all you need to hear, use this link and chip in. [link removed] If you’d like a little more, would you let us explain? This won’t take long.  Mark retired from the Nav…

Asking for $5

$5. That’s what I’m asking you to chip in to my campaign for governor today. If you are able to donate, I’ll be forever grateful. See, all too often in Washington, cash is king. A lot of politicians bankroll their races off lobbyist kickbacks and corporate super PACs. And once they win, they t…

60-second countdown timer [link removed] Friend, this'll only take a minute. But I need your full attention for every second of that time: With just four months left to clinch the Democratic nomination, I set a $60,000 goal for our end-of-month deadline to ensure we have the resources to re…

I gave my response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union:

Friend, it’s Abigail Spanberger, Governor of Virginia. Last night I delivered the Democratic response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, and I wanted to reach out to you directly. Americans expect and deserve leaders who are working hard to deliver for them. That is not what we saw. Th…

Folks in Clear Creek County are pissed (and rightly so)

I am not going to break

Team: I’m writing to ask you for $5. That’s right: just $5. $5 because I’ve had enough of Trump and Hegseth’s attacks on our Constitution. $5 because Donald Trump wants to stamp out any and all opposition, and he’s willing to undermine your First Amendment rights to do it. $5 because he’…

This is concerning (re: "nationalize the voting")

Friend – the other week, President Trump declared that “the Republicans ought to nationalize the voting." A day later, his close ally and fellow Epstein associate, Steve Bannon, urged him to follow through, saying, “We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November." Soon after, the SAV…

Trump is taking his vote-by-mail fight to the Supreme Court

Folks, Trump has been targeting Colorado over our gold-standard universal mail ballot system for a long time.  And now, he’s trying to block mail-in voting across the entire country. If Republicans win this case, millions of Americans – including countless Coloradans – could have their votes t…
