I have some bad news to share

  Hello — This isn’t the news I wanted to share, but our opponent just reported a “massive advantage” in cash-on-hand — more than twice as much as our team reported this month! So I’m emailing you right now with an urgent last minute request to help us close this financial gap. Unlike…

Hoo boy

  We’re so close to reaching our mid-month goal tonight. We only need a few more donations to put us over the edge, so I’m asking you one final time to make a donation today, folks. I’m refusing to accept donations from corporate PACs, so the only way we’ll be able to fight off the GO…

Tonight @ midnight

  Folks, Tonight at midnight we close the books on our mid-month fundraising deadline — our first deadline as the official Democratic nominee. When it’s over, we’ll crunch the numbers to see if we’ve reached our $75,000 goal. We’ll also take a look at just how many people have pitched…

Truth be told

  Hello — I know our campaign has been emailing you a lot about our fundraising deadline this week, so I’ll make it quick. Truth be told, I could really use your help before my first mid-month deadline as the Democratic nominee in this race. Republicans are waging a brutal attack camp…

Three things you need to know

  Here are three things you need to know before our mid-month deadline on Wednesday: John Hickenlooper is the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat red to blue. His opponent’s approval rating is even less than Trump’s (yikes!). Mitch McConnell knows his majority is in jeopard…

Republicans are getting more and more desperate

  Folks, do you have a minute? A poll came out a few days ago showing John Hickenlooper beating Cory Gardner in what would be a huge win for Democrats as we work to take back our government in this election. Since then, Republicans have only ramped up their attacks. More misleading TV…

Democrats have no chance without Colorado

  I’m emailing for $5. Trust me, I have a good reason for doing so: Right now, there are five Senate races rated as “toss-up” by the highly respected Cook Political Report — and the most likely of those races to flip is our race against Cory Gardner in Colorado. Democrats simply do no…
