re: January 6th Commission

  I can’t believe I have to say this, folks — Yes, of course we need a January 6th Commission to investigate the insurrection that took place at the Capitol earlier this year. And yesterday, the House voted to create this commission, with 35 Republicans joining Democrats to pass the …

This is a long email, but I hope you’ll take the time to read it.

  Can I tell you a story? When I was growing up, it was an American article of faith that if you worked hard, you could get ahead and build a better future. This rang true for my mom and grandparents. You see, my family were Polish Jews. When Nazis invaded, they separated my mom fro…

Jason Crow

  Hello — My good friend, Jason Crow, is facing a tough re-election battle for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. He’s the first Democrat in history to flip CO-06 blue, so National Republicans have already made him a top target. But it gets even more challenging… Colorado is red…

re: Mississippi

  This is serious, folks. The Supreme Court, with a 6-3 majority could allow the powerful to do what they want, while standing against the will of the American people, just announced they will take up a major abortion case that could roll back Roe v. Wade. Sign my urgent petition rig…

We could have a significant surplus of COVID-19 vaccine doses. Then what?

  Hello — The United States could have a significant surplus of COVID-19 vaccine doses by the end of the summer. As a global leader, it is our responsibility to help distribute excess vaccines — especially in vulnerable countries. That’s why Michael is urging the Biden administration…

  Folks, In just a minute, I will ask you to add a contribution to my re-election campaign before our critical mid-month deadline tomorrow. But first, I’d like to explain why your support is so important — especially now. I’m so thrilled to let you know that End Citizens United, an …

16 people from xxxxxx

  Folks, we need 16 more people from xxxxxx to chip in a donation by midnight so we can reach our Founding Donor goal. Will you rush a $10 donation so our campaign can gear up for re-election? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go throu…

This is our next big milestone

  Hello — Yesterday, over 165 leaders throughout Colorado endorsed our re-election campaign. And this is big because If we want to protect our Democratic Senate majority, we’ll need to win here in Colorado. I’m humbly asking you to join us as a Founding Donor of our campaign. As the…

tied

  Here’s the truth about our Democratic Senate majority — it’s not actually a majority. The Senate is tied 50-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting any tie-breaking votes. That means if Mitch McConnell and the GOP manage to flip just one seat, they’re back in charge, blockin…

re: paid family leave

While I’m in Colorado this week

  Hey there, I just got back to Colorado and can’t wait to spend some much-needed time with friends and family. In addition to meeting with Coloradans (safely), I’ll probably walk the High Line Canal Trail in Denver with Susan and Pepper, our old pup, and maybe try out some new recip…

re: pickle

It’s time to upgrade our infrastructure

re: marijuana

mudslinging

I never back down from a tough fight

  It’s no child’s fault that they’re born into poverty, folks. When I visited an early-childhood center in Rifle, Colorado, a mother told me, “I work so I can have health insurance, and every single penny that I make goes to pay for this early-childhood center so I can work.” It’s a …
