Here’s the bad news

  With just 58 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 majority. Cory Gardner’s approval rating is even lower than Trump’s (yikes!). The bad news: O…

Re: All Staff Memo

  Wanted to loop you in on the memo I just sent around, folks. But before I get into it, I have to ask: Can you spare $10 to help us win this toss-up race? We have a plan to win, but only if we have the resources to overcome the GOP’s new attacks. Click here to donate now. -----------…

re: the final stretch

  Hello — I need to talk with you real quick about our fundraising deadline before this long weekend gets away from us. I just spoke with our finance team this morning. They told me our online fundraising numbers have significantly dipped this week and we may fall short on our goal be…

$5 might not seem like a lot

  Hello, Over the past few 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 win and it might work... three recent polls show our race withi…

Three consecutive polls have this race in single digits!

  Quick update, folks — FIRST: Three consecutive polls showed our Republican opponent within single digits of John Hickenlooper, likely leading GOP groups to ramp up their attacks against our campaign — just yesterday the NRA launched a nasty, false ad to mislead voters. THEN: Grassro…

This could cost us

  We weren’t planning on sending this email, folks, but a brand new poll shows our race in single digits for the third time. And if that wasn’t enough, the NRA just launched a false smear ad against John as part of the GOP’s latest attack blitz. Donations have significantly slowed dow…

$4 for 4 seats

  Folks, we’re asking if you’ll chip in just $4 today. Not a typo! Democrats only need to flip four seats to take back the Senate majority this year. And our best chance is right here in Colorado. Our opponent, Cory Gardner, is the most vulnerable Republican Senator in the books. His …

What we’re up against

  Hello, Cory Gardner is the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for re-election, and our race is the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat and end Mitch McConnell’s majority for good. Washington Republicans know that, too. Outside groups have been hammering us with more than…

The finish line

  Folks — we’re only two months out from this election, and we need to know: Will you take a stand to help us flip Colorado’s Senate seat or will you stay on the sidelines and let the GOP buy another election and keep their grip on power? We’re out of time to fool around. The Washingt…

Let me explain why these goals matter so much

  Hello — I want to take a quick moment to explain why our fundraising goals are such an important part of our campaign. Here it goes: Running a campaign of this size and importance is a difficult and expensive undertaking. On a daily basis, my campaign manager makes tough calls about…

  Quick update, folks — We just ran the numbers and if we can get 16 people from Washington to chip in a donation by midnight, we’ll get back on track with our fundraising before we hit the Labor Day sprint. We’re running out of time to close this gap, and with Republican groups attac…

Stepping up

  Hi there, I know we ask you for money a lot — and trust me, it’s one of my least favorite things to do — but the truth is we need to meet our fundraising goals to keep up with the GOP’s war chest of nearly $25 MILLION to keep Colorado red. We’re not just taking on Cory Gardner in th…

You won’t believe what he just said

  Folks, you won’t believe this: The director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee just said they will “no doubt” keep control of the Senate. He even went on to say: “I know how to beat guys like John Hickenlooper. [...] We know how to beat these people because we’ve done i…

Off track

Another single digit poll
