Give me a moment to explain, folks

Even a national political website greeted my new position with the headline: “WTF?!!.”   Can I explain something, team? In 2009, I was appointed to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate for Colorado. Polls pegged my name recognition at a whopping 3%. Republicans called me the “accidental…

Monthly donations help us plan ahead

We know we’re up against a flood of GOP money.   Friend, Campaigns are expensive. From hiring staff and training volunteers, to keeping our ads on TV and digital platforms and shoring up our get-out-the-vote operation, there are countless moving pieces that require sustained funding i…

Republicans are outspending Michael on TV right now

We have some urgent news to share.   Team, we have some breaking news to share: Mitch McConnell and the NRSC JUST launched TV ads in our Senate race, and we’re already being outspent. Michael’s seat has been named one of the most likely to flip and a poll has shown Michael losing. Thi…

Unaffiliated voters in Colorado return ballots at a higher rate for Republicans in the June primary

We need to scale up our investments to reach voters across Colorado   If there’s one thing you should see today, it’s this — unaffiliated voters in Colorado turned out at a higher rate for Republicans than Democrats in June’s primary election.  With Michael’s seat and our Senate majo…

When someone tells you who they are...

  Team, Michael will always support a woman’s right to choose, and he’s fighting to enshrine that right into federal law now that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Meanwhile, Joe O’Dea opposes the Women’s Health Protection Act, would have voted for Donald Trump’s Supreme Cour…

re: lowering health care costs, cutting taxes for families, and strengthening our infrastructure

Michael won his last midterm re-election by just 1.7%, and this race is going to be close.   One month ago, the general election started when Joe O’Dea officially became Michael’s opponent. Here’s what we knew about him then: He was endorsed by the Colorado NRA and opposes new gun sa…
