Can I share a story with you?

  Hello, You don’t know me, but my name is Ruth Montague. I’ve supported Michael Bennet since he took office and I helped flip Colorado blue by recruiting friends and neighbors to write postcards to support John Hickenlooper in 2020. Washington has become so gridlocked with partisan …

re: Texas

  Hello, We certainly get a lot of snow in Colorado, but southern states like Texas just aren’t accustomed or equipped to handle winter storms — and unprecedented amounts of snow and ice have completely shut down Texas. Families across the state, especially in communities of color an…

What a week

  What a week, folks, and it’s only Wednesday. I know I must sound like a broken record, but it’s been busy in Washington. Between Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, passing more COVID-19 relief, confirming President Biden’s nominees, and introducing my own bills to raise the minimum …

alarming news

  Folks, we just got some alarming news and needed to share it with you right away. Cory Gardner is launching his own right-wing super PAC to fund Republicans and take back the Senate from Democrats next year. We can’t catch a break — former Senator Cory Gardner just lost to John Hic…

An outside dark money group just launched a new attack ad against me.

  Hello, I know it's Sunday, but I have an important request that couldn't wait. If you give me just a moment, I’d like to explain why your support is so critical — especially today. I’ll admit, I’ve been busy in Washington. The Senate just finished our second impeachment trial of Do…

I had no choice but to vote to convict Donald Trump

  Hello, When the great people of Colorado elected me to the United States Senate, I took an oath to fight for my constituents, uphold the Constitution, and protect our country from enemies both foreign and domestic. With that promise in mind, I had no choice but to vote to convict D…

morning

  Morning — Before I head into work, I wanted to write you a quick note about my re-election campaign. I won’t keep you long. I have to be honest, I’ve prioritized my work in the Senate over our fundraising efforts this month. And well, quite expectedly, we’re falling behind on our g…

sorry

  Folks, Michael is hard at work in the Senate as Donald Trump’s impeachment trial begins. We want him to stay 100% focused on his important job today, so can you chip in $10 or more to help us meet our mid-month fundraising goal? Anything you can give will keep Michael focused on hi…

WaPo: GOP looks to win back Senate

  Yikes, look: Thanks to Colorado, Democrats narrowly took back the Senate. That means Mitch McConnell will have his sights set on undoing our victory in 2022. Republicans only need to flip one seat to take back the majority. Right now, they’re busy calling up right-wing mega-donors…

5:30 AM

  Look, it is no child’s fault that they’re born into poverty. 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 …

Let’s raise the minimum wage

  When I was growing up, it was an American truth that if you worked hard, you could get ahead and build a better future. But, folks, my generation is the first one at risk of handing our children less opportunity — not more. Decades of inaction, partisan gridlock, dark money, and gr…

What issues are most important to you?

  Hello, Last year, I watched Mitch McConnell refuse to vote on over 500 good bills. I watched Republicans deepen their own pockets instead of helping the American people through a pandemic. I watched partisan gridlock divide our country and threaten our fragile democracy. Well, not …

[SIGN] Paycheck Fairness Act

re: Roe v. Wade

re: Citizens United

Republican Senators are attempting to overturn the will of the people and destroy the Constitution
