Not the usual path

  Folks -- I have an important question to ask you as we near the end of January and approach another critical deadline coming up next week. I hope you’ll grant me a moment to explain why this is so important. I didn’t take the usual path to public office. I worked as a geologist then b…

On this day in 1973

  Folks, In 1967, Colorado became the first state to legalize abortion -- six years before Roe v. Wade. When I was Governor, we made it a priority to expand access to reproductive health care. We bought tens of thousands of IUDs to distribute at public health clinics across the state. We…

Incoming attacks from Donald Trump

  We always knew the attacks from Trump were coming. But President Trump waking up in Switzerland and tweeting misleading smears about John was not something we expected to wake up to this morning, folks. President Trump attacked John Hickenlooper no less than FOUR times on behalf of our …

Bumping this email for John

Sign our petition demanding Washington Republicans allow witnesses and evidence to be presented during the impeachment trial

  Folks --  An impeachment trial without witnesses or evidence presented is not a trial at all, it’s a sham. Plain and simple. Yet, Washington Republicans like Senator Cory Gardner are refusing to uphold the rule of law and do the right thing by taking the impeachment trial seriously and c…

BREAKING: New polling shows our opponent is one of the most unpopular Senators in all of America today

  BREAKING NEWS: New, independent polling from Morning Consult just named our opponent, Cory Gardner, one of the most unpopular Senators in all of America today. That’s huge, folks! It proves again that the people of Colorado are sick and tired of Gardner standing with Trump and McConnell…

Washington is broken

  I’ll be honest, folks. I never saw myself running for U.S. Senate. Back in the mid-1980s, I was laid off for 27 months as a geologist. Then, I took every scrap of savings in my bank account and took a gamble on opening my own business, a brewpub in downtown Denver. I remember working 8…

Just got word

  Hi, team. M.E. here. John’s campaign manager. We just got word that yet another national outlet has ranked our opponent, Cory Gardner, as the most vulnerable Republican Senator in 2020. Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight, Roll Call, the Hill, and now National Journal’s Hotline are picking u…

You might've picked up on this by now

  You might’ve picked up on this by now, folks, but John’s not like most politicians. He’s a geologist-turned-brewer who has won his elections by focusing on the people, not petty partisan politics. You see, John’s a lot more interested in finding solutions to the issues everyday folks t…

This is an important week for our campaign

  Folks, This is an important week for our campaign. Just a few days from now, we’re closing the books on the first mid-month fundraising deadline of 2020 -- and then, we’re going to take a look at the budget. We filed a really great report last quarter, but our donations for January hav…

Cory Gardner is in trouble

I told them I'd reach out

  Folks, I’ll cut to the chase. My team’s a bit worried we’ll miss our $100,000 grassroots fundraising goal next week. If we do, it means we’ll start out 2020 on the wrong foot -- so I told them I’d reach out to a few folks like you. If you can, would you please add a donation to our ca…

You know it. We know it.

  Folks, our campaign is facing our very first fundraising deadline of the new year (and arguably our most important!). But we’re still on a bit of a slower pace than usual and need to double down to make up for lost ground. You know it. We know it. Colorado is the Democrats’ best chanc…

Will you make your first donation of 2020?

My team selected you for this survey, folks

  Folks, Now that 2020 is in full swing, I want to take a moment and check in with you about your priorities for this election. Traveling the state, I hear so many reasons why Coloradans want new leadership in Washington right now. Republicans are trying to sabotage our health care. Clima…

One final time

  We’re still just a bit short of hitting our $500,000 grassroots fundraising goal before tonight’s deadline. It expires at midnight, so I’m asking every supporter of our campaign to make a contribution now, if you can. It would mean a lot to me personally, folks -- can you donate $10 or …

A lousy place, if you ask me

  Folks -- Washington is a lousy place to get things done, but now is the wrong time to walk away from the fight of our lives. We need to defeat Trump. We need to take back the Senate. The paths to accomplishing both run right through Colorado, and our team is ready to dig in to do the h…

Tuesday's FEC deadline
