One final request for this month

  Team – I’ll keep this quick. Can you make a contribution of any amount to my re-election campaign before tonight’s end-of-month deadline? I won my last midterm election by only 1.7% and a recent poll shows me currently down by 1% to a GOP opponent. This is going to be a close race,…

Help us keep the Senate blue

  Hey team, Take a look at this quote from a Colorado Republican strategist: “It’s simply that with the environment, with the right candidate, with the right resources drawing the right contrast against Bennet, this is very winnable.” Encouraged by a recent poll showing that Michael …

Michael’s seat is ranked likely to flip this year. We need your support to turn the tides.

The National GOP is gaining momentum in Colorado, and we’re counting on supporters like you to fight back.   FIRST: Proud insurrectionist and GOP primary candidate Ron Hanks surged ahead in the race to flip Michael’s seat, while making headlines from national news outlets like CNN and…

Open to view the GOP’s agenda if they flip the Senate

Folks, Republicans called me the “accidental Senator.”

February has been a whirlwind for our campaign, team, but there’s good news.

We can’t stop working to protect voting rights

Kellyanne Conway is jumping into Michael’s race
