25 people from Washington

  Quick update, folks — We just ran the numbers and if we can get 25 people from Washington to chip in a donation by midnight, we’ll be on track for our July fundraising goal tomorrow. We’re running out of time to close this gap, and with Republican groups attacking John 2:1 on the ai…

I have a very important ask to make of you

  Hello — I have a really important ask to make of you today, but first I need to remind you of two very critical things: On Tuesday, a new poll came out showing a close, single-digit race against our Republican opponent. It’s the tightest margin we’ve seen and it comes after right-w…

Okay, here it goes

  I’m concerned about a new poll showing our campaign within single digits of Senator Gardner, so I wanted to bump John’s message from yesterday. Democrats cannot afford to fall short in Colorado if we’re going to win back the Senate this year — and the only way we can fight back agai…

Before you log off

  Hey there, I wanted to reach out one last time before you log off tonight. It’s been a bit of a rough week for our campaign — our donations have slowed recently, and yesterday a poll came out that was too close for comfort. We’re doing everything we can to stay focused on hitting ou…

Here’s the deal

  Folks, here’s the deal — In two days, we close the books on our July fundraising deadline. We’ll be honest, it’s going to be a huge challenge raising the funds we need — especially since our donations have slowed significantly. A new poll shows this race is close. And if we catch up…

An explanation about yesterday

  Hello — I really need to explain what’s happening in our race, because we need your help more than ever before. Here it goes: Yesterday morning a new poll came out showing a close, single-digit race against Cory Gardner — the tightest margin we’ve seen since Republican groups unleas…

just the facts

  Just the facts today, folks — FACT: Democrats must flip four Republican-held Senate seats to take our government back in November, and most political experts agree that Colorado is the most likely race to flip. FACT: GOP groups bankrolled by Mitch McConnell’s right-wing donor networ…

Single digits?!

  This is urgent, folks. GOP groups have unleashed a $9 million attack blitz against me — and a new poll shows we have a narrow lead in this race. A brand new poll released last night shows us in single digits. Mitch McConnell and his allies have spent the last several weeks slamming …

Your $5 vs. Mitch McConnell’s millions

  Hello, Over the past several weeks, Mitch McConnell and his allies have launched a multi-million dollar attack blitz against us to defeat our campaign and keep their grip on power in Washington. They’re trying to pull off a major upset and it’s working... our lead has taken a signif…

We can’t risk losing this seat

  With just 99 days to go until Election Day, here’s what you need to know: The good news: John Hickenlooper is the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat blue and end Mitch McConnell’s reign of terror. Cory Gardner’s approval rating has been even lower than Trump’s (how embarra…

Budget cuts

  With only 100 days until Election Day, we are running out of time to make up lost ground. So if you’ve been waiting to give until your donation will have the most impact, now is the time: Chip in $10 or more to help us reach our end-of-month deadline, fight Republican attacks, and …

Did you see this? It’s important.

  Hello, I needed to make sure you saw my note — with only 100 days left until Election Day, the Republicans’ plan to overtake our race is working. They’re launching nasty, false attacks against me — and outspending us 2:1 — in a desperate attempt to shrink our lead even further. We c…

My friend John Hickenlooper

The GOP’s plan is working

Ivanka Trump is here to stump for Cory Gardner

  Folks: this is not a drill. The Trump campaign sent a major surrogate to Colorado to stump for Cory Gardner — Ivanka Trump. Rush a $10 donation before Ivanka leaves Colorado. We have to stop the GOP’s plans to shore up their right-wing base. If you've saved your payment information …

I’m floored

  Folks, the GOP is trying to sabotage our health care system in the middle of a global pandemic. I’m honestly floored. It’s pretty clear by now that instead of helping the people they were elected to represent, Washington Republicans only serve the highest bidder. And my opponent, Co…

Yet another false, nasty ad

so...

Only $5?

  Friends, this is an email asking if you can contribute $5 toward our upcoming end-of-month goal. Why $5? Right now, there are five Senate seats rated as a “toss-up” — a fancy way of saying they’re the seats most likely to flip blue. We’re one of them. That means if we don’t win (and…

Not exaggerating

  John Hickenlooper is in the fight of his life right now. Right-wing groups with an endless supply of cash are flooding the airwaves with insidious attacks and shrinking our lead in the final months before Election Day. Can you rush an urgent contribution now to help us raise $125,00…

Our lead has shrunk

Really need your help here

  Here’s what you need to know — Our opponent just reported more than twice as much cash-on-hand than our campaign. That money can buy A LOT — we’re talking a huge field operation, persuasive mailers, and a bunch of ad time to attack John Hickenlooper and sink our campaign. So, we’ve …

Oh no

Three things you need to know

Republicans are getting more and more desperate

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…

the next couple of hours are really important for us
