I’m the only one

  Hello — When I launched my re-election campaign, I vowed to reject any and all contributions from corporate PACs and federal lobbyists. I am the only Senator running for re-election to do so. My Finance Director told me we could lose out on more than $5 million over the course of o…

Nothing beats Colorado

  Let me tell you, folks, getting to work in our nation’s Capitol is incredible. It’s a humbling experience every time I walk through those Senate doors. But nothing beats Colorado. I love coming back to the Rocky Mountains and sunshine. Did you know that some cities in Colorado get …

You’re invited!

  Guess what, folks? You’re invited to our Grassroots Campaign Kickoff event on Monday, June 14th! Michael wanted to make sure we asked all of our top supporters so he can meet you (virtually, of course). Colorado is a top 2022 race, so if we want to defend our Democratic Senate majo…

Thank you

  Wow, thank you. When we asked for your help to catch up on our missed goal, you stepped up. Because of your generosity, we’re back on track for our big FEC deadline in a few weeks. I’m so proud of this team and what we’re accomplishing together. We’re not just working to win Colora…

ugh

  Ugh. I just checked our campaign budget and we’re still $3,972 away from catching up on our missed fundraising goal. Our numbers for Q2 will go public after this month — so you can see why missing a deadline like this jeopardizes our campaign. I really don’t want to be forced to cu…

a right-wing Super PAC just launched an attack against me

  This is urgent — A right-wing super PAC just launched a nasty attack against me. Mitch McConnell and other Republicans in Washington are desperate to regain Senate control and they’re making Colorado a top target. I need your help ASAP. We need to raise $5,000 today for our rapid r…

misinformation

  Folks, we missed our end-of-month fundraising goal yesterday. Let me explain why that matters. Thanks to Mitch McConnell’s shady mega-donors, National Republicans have massive resources. They’re willing to go on the offense with nasty attacks, spend boatloads of money, and spread m…

I wish I didn’t have to reach out

  Hey folks — I wish I didn’t have to reach out, but we’re still behind on our end-of-month fundraising goal and I’m getting worried we might miss it. If we can’t raise another $5,937 by midnight, it could throw off our plans for the quarter and we’re worried about having enough reso…

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 the only Senator running for re-election refusing to accept corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money.

  We’ll make this quick, folks — Our end-of-month deadline is right around the corner. According to our numbers, we’re just $12,182 shy of our target. With all eyes on Colorado, it’s important we demonstrate the strength of our team. We can’t afford to fall short on our goal with the…

re: shady money in politics

  There’s a lot of shady money in politics, folks. So it’s no wonder why I often get asked the question: Who gives to our campaign? Well, let me tell you. It’s folks like Louise from Lakewood, Darrell from Littleton, and Gilberto from Monument — who have all given to our campaign thi…

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…

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…
