I’ll keep this quick

I’m heading into my next meeting right now. I don’t have much time to fundraise right now so I’m counting on you.   Team, I’m running between meetings but wanted to send you a quick email so you hear this from me right away: Earlier this year, Senate Democrats and I passed the expand…

Here’s what the new infrastructure bill means for youfolks:

  Did you see the news, team? Michael just helped pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the Senate — this will create good-paying jobs, invest in building climate resilience, expand broadband and more for families in Colorado and nationwide. Take a moment to read how Mic…

Marjorie Taylor Greene was in Colorado Springs last night

  Last night, the El Paso County GOP welcomed far-right conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene. Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to parrot Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ to undermine our democracy while comparing COVID safety measures to the Holocaust. It’s clear that Colorado Republicans wan…

Marjorie Taylor Greene is raising money for Colorado Republicans who want to defeat us

We have to be ready for whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene says about Michael and other Colorado Democrats tonight.   Quick, Marjorie Taylor Greene is headlining a high-dollar Republican fundraising event tonight in El Paso County. That’s right. Colorado Republicans have invited a far-ri…

Will you split a donation between Michael and me to keep Colorado blue?

  Friends, it's Joe Neguse from Colorado's 2nd District. Our state is a top target for National Republicans in their bid to retake control in Congress, and they raised $28 million last quarter to do just that. Folks like you, pitching in to emails like this one, give Michael and me o…

I’m not satisfied with cutting poverty in half.

  Folks, you’ve stepped up time and time again and I’m so grateful.  Because I’m not taking a cent from corporate PACs and federal lobbyists, we really do lean on our grassroots network to power this campaign. Your support is helping us do really big things. Already this year, we pas…

shhh

  Can I let you in on a secret, folks? I was not the obvious choice for the U.S. Senate. It’s true! Republicans mocked me as the “accidental senator,” my name recognition was a mere 3%, and newspapers printed headlines like “WTF?!!” after my appointment in 2009. Look, I get it. I was…

Michael is one of my best friends

  Hi there, John here! In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make an important contribution toward Michael Bennet’s campaign. But first, I hope you will give me a chance to explain why your contribution is so important. As you may know, Michael is one of my best friends. He helped me …

A personal request...

While Michael fights hard for Colorado families, the GOP is working overtime to take his Senate seat.   Hi there — My husband’s re-election campaign is facing a big deadline this Saturday, and we're counting on folks like you so we don’t fall short. Let me explain how grassroots suppo…

$28 million, folks

To fend off all of the attacks we know are coming our way, we need to start this quarter off strong.   Hey, team: ICYMI, Senate Republicans raised $28 million last quarter -- and Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott have already made it clear that Colorado is a top target for 2022.  They’re…

Let’s keep proving them wrong

We can make up ground on them with a strong response today, but I do want you to know we’re not on track to hit this month’s fundraising goal by Saturday. So because I've seen what this team is capable of, I’m asking:   Hey, team —  I’m about to ask you to donate to my re-election cam…

Let me explain

July 23, 2021 at 5:12 PM

It's simple, folks

  Michael Bennet and his fellow Senate Democrats are passing policies to lift up American families and ensure the next generation succeeds. They did so without the support of their GOP counterparts, so we have a moral responsibility to not only defend our slim Senate majority but exp…

Help Michael keep fighting to expand the CTC

Republicans raised $28 million last quarter and we’ve hit the “summer slump”

  We’re in the midst of a summer slump that could not have come at a worse time. The National Republican Senatorial Committee just announced they raised $28 million last quarter as we’re seeing a slump in our own fundraising numbers. We’ve got to act quick. If we fall behind in our f…

re: Mitch McConnell’s top targets

  "Accidental" and "WTF?!!" That's how Republicans and pundits reacted in 2009 when Michael Bennet became Colorado’s next U.S. Senator. Grassroots supporters like you have proved that Michael’s place in the Senate fighting for American families is no accident. See, Michael had never …

57,000 Colorado children lifted out of poverty

  For years, I’ve travelled to every corner of our state and met with parents from different backgrounds with similar stories. No matter what they do or how many jobs they work, they can’t afford housing, health care, early childhood education, child care, and more. Folks can’t get t…

Child Tax Credit payments start arriving today (add your name)

Rick Scott has Michael Bennet on his target list

  Friend, are you tuning in to tonight’s Home Run Derby in Denver? As a baseball fan, a Coloradan, and someone fighting for safe and easy voting access nationwide, I’m pleased all eyes will be on our state tonight. Last election, Coloradans voted in droves landing us at the second hi…

re: next week

  Friend, I’ve been working toward this since 2015. For years, parents have been coming to me and saying that no matter how hard they work, even if they work 2 or 3 jobs, they can’t get their kids out of poverty. For the last four decades, our economy has worked really well for the t…

single-digit poll

update (Susan won)

  Here's the final fundraising score between Susan and me: Too much to not enough. My wife outraised me at a rate of nearly 2-to-1, and she's given humility a backseat. And a bet's a bet in this house, always — so you can believe I’ll be taking her out for a nice victory dinner. Betw…

  I won’t sugarcoat it, folks, this race will be tough. The last time we had a midterm Senate race in Colorado, the Democrats lost the seat — along with their Senate majority. And it could happen again. I believe so strongly in what we’re fighting for. Michael is a great leader for …
