Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee

Last week, Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucus by 51 percent.On Tuesday, he won the New Hampshire primary by 54 percent. We can’t bury our heads in the sand. Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee for President.A lot of people didn’t think Donald Trump could be elected in 2016. They were wr…

How we can fight back for reproductive rights

Today marks the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that protected abortion under the Constitution.  In June 2022, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court overturned Roe. In the year and a half since, we’ve witnessed the devastating consequences of that decision, which denied w…

Starting the new year right

You may have heard, friend, about my New Year's resolution. In 2024, my goal is to elect Democratic leaders in Colorado and across the country who will fight for the issues that matter most. That’s why I’m starting January by endorsing Jason Crow, who represents Colorado’s Sixth Congressional Distr…

Friend,I'm reaching out personally for the last email of 2023.

Our year in review

Friend,As 2023 comes to an end, we’ve been looking back at everything Michael has accomplished this year. Here are some of the highlights: In May, Michael reintroduced the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act (the CORE Act), which would protect over 420,000 acres of public land in our state…

Gun safety

Friend,In this line of work, if you’re doing something that pisses off Fox News or the NRA, you’re probably doing something right. That’s why we’re happy to report that Michael’s gun safety bill, the GOSAFE Act, is getting heat from both. The GOSAFE Act supports responsible gun owners and protects o…

Tuberville’s political stunt

Lauren Boebert voted against new jobs for her district

Friend, Once the steel capital of the West, Pueblo powered our state and our country for decades. But like many American cities, Pueblo paid the price for a 40-year Washington consensus that stretches back to Ronald Reagan. It's easy to summarize: National Republicans cut taxes for the wealthiest Am…

My call to the Department of Defense

Friend — After the Supreme Court’s conservative majority overturned Roe v.
