Rick Scott has Michael Bennet on his target list

  The National Republican Senatorial Committee is dedicated to taking back the Senate. Its chair, Rick Scott, called Michael out by name at CPAC this weekend and said defeating Michael is a top priority. Republicans need just one seat to flip the Senate and it’s clear they are zeroed…

Do this before tonight’s opening pitch

  When Major League Baseball announced their plan to move tonight’s All-Star game, I pitched Colorado as the place to go. I’ll always fight to protect voting rights, friend, so please give me a moment to explain how you can make a difference in this ongoing battle then, chip in $10 t…

[Don’t forget!] 2021’s Home Run Derby is tonight

  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

  Hey folks — A new poll just came out and I want to make sure you hear this from me: It shows a single-digit race. We already knew this race would be very close until Election Day. Now we have to prepare for Mitch McConnell and Washington Republicans to redouble their efforts to fl…

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…

Top 10 seats most likely to flip red

I believe

  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 …

I have an update for you

  Uh oh — Our big FEC deadline expires tomorrow at midnight — and we’re falling behind our goals. Mitch McConnell is desperate to retake the Senate majority. National Republicans have already raised a whopping $40 million to attack Democrats in 2022 — and falling behind on our end-o…

We were caught off guard

  I’ll be honest, folks: We weren’t expecting the mudslinging to start this early. But already, a dark money group has launched nasty attacks against me, distorting my record and misleading voters. Look, the GOP only needs to flip one seat to take back the majority and start obstruc…

some bad news

  I’ve got some bad news, folks — Look, I’m not here to fool you with fake astronomical goals or beg you for a donation because the “sky is falling!” That’s not how I do things. But I am here to give you the honest-to-God truth: At the pace we’re going, we won’t reach our critical e…

I hate call time.

  Folks, I hate call time. I’m incredibly appreciative of every single person who makes a donation to this campaign, but let me tell you — no one likes being stuck in a room all day dialing for dollars. And trust me, I’m not a big fan of these emails either. Asking folks for money i…

Wanna bet?

Re: last night’s vote on voting rights

Senate Republicans just blocked the For the People Act

A right-wing Republican who believes Donald Trump’s Big Lie
