Michael Bennet has always been someone I can depend on to fight for commonsense gun safety legislation

  Hello, The fight to prevent gun violence is deeply personal to me. It defined my earliest days in the Senate, and it has driven my work ever since. I’ve made it my mission to pass common sense gun safety legislation to make our communities safer. Earlier this month, a man in Georgi…

just shy of our goal

  I’ll make this quick, folks — Our end-of-quarter FEC deadline ends tonight at midnight. According to my team, we’re just $3,182 shy of our target. This is our campaign’s first FEC goal, so it’s important we demonstrate the strength of our team when our numbers go public. With the S…

Republicans think Colorado is vulnerable.

  Folks, our first FEC deadline of this campaign ends tomorrow at midnight. We have to hit our $25,000 goal if we want to keep the Democratic majority in the Senate. Will you pitch in now? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through i…

ambitious

  Folks, our very first FEC deadline of 2021 is next week and we set an ambitious $25,000 goal. Here’s why that matters: Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are more determined than ever to retake the Senate in 2022. All they have to do is flip a single seat. Once we file our FEC …

Republicans are looking for weaknesses they can exploit

  Folks, in a minute, I will ask you to add a donation to my re-election campaign before our first FEC deadline of the year. But first, let me explain why this is so important. Every three months, candidates running for federal office must report their fundraising numbers to the Fede…

It makes us sick

  Hello, The only way we’ll ever be able to pass common-sense gun safety reform is with a Democratic majority in the Senate. For far too long, Republicans in Washington have unapologetically sold out to wealthy corporations — doing the bidding of the NRA, Big Pharma, and anti-environ…

I’m angry

  Hello, Earlier this month, I introduced a bill to expand universal background checks on gun purchases. On Saturday, I told Senators Ossoff and Warnock that our thoughts were with them following the mass shooting in Georgia. And only three days later, a mass shooter killed ten peopl…

You have every right to expect action

  Folks, Yesterday afternoon, a gunman attacked shoppers at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, taking the lives of 10 innocent victims. My heart goes out to the families of these Coloradans who fell victim to another tragic and senseless act of gun violence — the latest…

We cannot afford to lose our Democratic majority.

  Can I explain something, folks? In 2009, I was appointed to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate for Colorado. Polls pegged my name recognition at a whopping 3%. Republicans called me the “accidental Senator.” Even a national publication greeted my new position with the headline: “WTF…

Our public lands are special

  Folks, Colorado has some of the most impressive public lands across our country. From our magnificent Rocky Mountains to our beautiful rivers and incredible plains — there’s a reason we’re called “colorful Colorado.” For too long, Republicans in Washington have worked to carve up o…

I wish I had better news

  I wish I had better news, folks. We missed our mid-month fundraising goal yesterday. Not by a lot, but enough to make a difference. You see, every donation is a line in our budget and if we fall off track — even by a few dollars — it jeopardizes our plans for this campaign. But her…

27% behind

  Folks — we’re in a bit of a pickle. Our important mid-month fundraising deadline ends tonight at midnight, but we’re still 27% behind our goal. The only way we’ll be able to catch up and make the investments we need to build a strong campaign is through grassroots support from folk…

your choice, folks

No one should have to live in fear of being a victim in the next mass shooting

Will you sign your name next to mine?

WaPo: GOP looks to win back Senate
