Colorado could decide who controls the Senate

  Democrats need to flip four seats to make sure we take back the U.S. Senate — and that starts right here in Colorado. I’m proud to endorse my friend John Hickenlooper because I know he’ll bring much-needed change to Washington. If you’re in a place to make a contribution, will you …

As of 7:23 AM

  Today is just the Mondayest of Mondays, ain’t it? This morning, my team found a pretty big gap in our numbers just as we round the corner on our final deadline this quarter. Once our FEC report becomes public, everyone will see whether or not we have the resources to win this race. …

Re: Republican tricks

  Hello — It feels like every other TV and digital ad in Colorado is a misleading attack designed to defeat John Hickenlooper and stop Democrats from flipping this Senate seat blue. We expected that. And thanks to your support, our campaign is on the air fighting back and telling the …

I have a question

  Hello, Since we launched this campaign, I have refused to accept a single cent from corporate PACs because I never want there to be a question of who I work for — that answer will always be you. Unlike my Republican opponent, I’m proud to run a truly people-powered campaign that rel…

Juneteenth

  Hello — In 1865, two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery, there were still about 250,000 enslaved people in Texas. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers came to Galveston, Texas with great news: The Civil War was over. All enslaved people…

  Here’s the truth: Democrats only need to flip four seats to take back the Senate majority and end Mitch McConnell’s reign of terror this November. As we speak, Mark Kelly in Arizona, Cal Cunningham in North Carolina, Sara Gideon in Maine, and our campaign here in Colorado lead in th…
