$7,843 short

  Hello — Wednesday is a big fundraising deadline for us, so we wanted to give you a quick rundown of where things stand: Our mid-month deadline is in three days and our FEC deadline is coming up in 16 days (when we report our numbers to the public). Our goal before midnight Wednesd…

Re: Wednesday’s big deadline

  Hello — I’m reaching out today because we have an important deadline coming up and I need your help. But before I ask you to contribute, let me explain why this request matters so much, especially today. Republican groups are planning to outspend our campaign nearly 3:1 in an attemp…

RE: our future

  Hello — This election is about far more than the petty, partisan politics that dominate Mitch McConnell’s Washington. This race is about what we will accomplish after we flip this Senate seat. The future of our country is at stake. Our government is rife with division and inaction w…

The bottom line

  Folks, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, and their slew of billionaire allies know that the entire Senate majority rests on Colorado. They’re desperately trying to save Cory Gardner’s seat to keep their grip on power. Gardner is vulnerable, so McConnell is calling in the cavalry from h…

Any day now

  I’ll be frank — My Republican opponent has the full backing of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and their right-wing billionaire network. Dark money groups and shady super PACs are cutting huge checks to fund attacks against me and secure my opponent another term. Everyone knows that …

Can you answer a few questions?

  Hey there, My team is doing everything we can to build a campaign you can be proud of. So before we go over our priorities and strategy for the next phase of this race, it’s important to me that I hear directly from you. While Cory Gardner is too busy being Donald Trump’s favorite y…

If the GOP sees any weak spots in our report, they’ll be sure to send more attacks our way to tear down this campaign.

  Folks, In just a few hours, we’ll close the books on our most important FEC deadline to date. Once we file our report, everyone will see how much we’ve raised and from how many individual donors. Shortly after, our opponent, Mitch McConnell, and their right-wing corporate backers wi…

McConnell will stop at nothing to attack John

  Real quick — FIRST: Roll Call and The Hill ranked our opponent, Cory Gardner, as the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for re-election. Gardner’s approval rating is even lower than Trump’s! THEN: Mitch McConnell and his billionaire friends turned their attention to our race, dum…

I need a minute to explain

  I sent you an important message on Monday about today’s pre-primary FEC fundraising deadline — and we still have some work to do if we’re going to reach our goal and flip this Senate seat blue. The deadline is at midnight and we cannot afford to fall short or risk Mitch McConnell’s …

We only have 24 hours until our most important FEC deadline ever

  Hello, John just stepped off the debate stage (well, virtually) and he showed everyone exactly why Colorado families can count on him in the U.S. Senate. For too long, Republican incumbent Cory Gardner has been too weak to stand up to Trump and McConnell’s dangerous agenda. He’s cho…

We’re being drowned out

  Here’s the truth — Democrats have virtually no chance of taking back the Senate without winning here in Colorado. Every major forecaster says that John’s race is the most likely Senate seat to flip red to blue. That’s why Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and their shady Republican all…

  Folks — Our campaign’s pre-primary FEC deadline is less than a week away. This is the most important deadline our campaign has faced yet. It’s the last time our numbers become public before the general election begins. If we come up short of our goal, we could lose this race. Republ…

Our most important FEC deadline yet

  Team — here’s where this competitive race stands: We have only FIVE days until our last FEC deadline before the general election begins. Once we file our FEC report, all of our fundraising numbers will become public — but we’re falling behind our critical $100,000 goal. Major electi…

BREAKING: Donald Trump just attacked John on Twitter

  Did you see this? — Last night, Donald Trump attacked John on Twitter to prop up our right-wing opponent! Trump is desperate to save Cory Gardner’s floundering campaign — especially after Gardner voted to acquit Trump during the impeachment trial. Trump has already visited Colorado …

We need to raise $12,000 a day to keep our ad on the air

  Hey — Thanks to folks like you stepping up, we launched our first TV ad of the cycle this week. But… this race is changing quickly. Yesterday, our Republican opponent (who is bankrolled by billionaires) launched yet another ad to drown us out on the air. And according to our finance…

Our campaign manager is worried

The situation

  Our critical end-of-month deadline expires in 24 hours. Here’s where things stand: The situation: John’s opponent is the most vulnerable GOP Senator up for re-election, which makes this race the BEST chance Democrats have to flip a Republican-held seat and take back the Senate this …

A tough decision

  Hello, I just made a tough call to help us flip this Senate seat from red to blue. Republican groups plan to outspend our campaign 2:1 on the airwaves in the coming months — and they’re doing it knowing that our fundraising has slowed down a bit since the start of this pandemic. So,…

this deadline matters

  Here’s the deal, folks: We have just 48 hours left until our crucial end-of-month deadline expires — and how much we raise and from how many individual donors matters.  You see, Cory Gardner already has a serious cash-on-hand advantage, and now groups like Mitch McConnell’s super PA…

Cory Gardner

May 24, 2020 at 8:51 PM

misleading

May 24, 2020 at 4:23 PM
