The Washington Post

  BREAKING: The Washington Post ranks Colorado as one of the most competitive Senate Races of 2020 Here’s where our toss-up race stands, folks: A new poll shows us within single digits of our Republican opponent. We’re being outspent. Right-wing groups with ties to Mitch McConnell h…

Zoom invite

  Hello — This weekend, my team and I will sit down (over Zoom, of course!) to set our priorities and strategy for the final stage of this election. Before we meet, it’s important to me that I get your feedback. While my opponent is busy being Donald Trump’s favorite yes-man, my top p…

Our mid-FEC deadline is Monday

  Hello — Democrats have virtually no chance of taking back the Senate unless we flip this seat in Colorado — and with the latest poll showing our race in single digits, we cannot afford to make any mistakes. Especially as Republican groups unload an avalanche of attacks in the closin…

re: Mitch McConnell

  Hello — Republicans aren’t just trying to beat me in this race — they are desperately fighting to save Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority. And their plan could work. The latest poll has our race in single digits. Other elections across the country are tightening, too — which means Re…

Hard to believe

  Hard to believe, folks, but the election is just 84 days away. The good news: We’re the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat and end Mitch McConnell’s reign of terror. But here’s the bad news: We only have 84 days to fight back against the outrageous sums being poured into C…

McConnell

  Hello — This weekend, The New York Times wrote a story about Mitch McConnell’s increased desperation to save his Senate majority. He described this election, and I quote, as “a knife fight in an alley.” Look, we have always known that Mitch McConnell and his right-wing allies were g…

meeting tomorrow @ noon

  Hello — In exactly one week, we’ll close the books on our mid-FEC fundraising goal. Then, our team will sit down and make some critical decisions about the closing months of this election. Our campaign has a pretty good chance of flipping this seat. But Mitch McConnell and his croni…

Something happened

  Hello — On the very first day of this campaign, I promised to refuse any and all donations from corporate PACs. I knew it would put us at a huge fundraising disadvantage while my opponent raked in big checks from corporate donors. It might not have been the easy thing to do, but it …

Less than 100 days to go

  Hello — We would like to be very clear about what’s at stake for our campaign with less than 100 days to go until Election Day: Democrats cannot flip the Senate if we lose this race, and the latest public poll in Colorado has our opponent within single digits. Republicans have alr…

Quick recap

  There’s been a lot of numbers thrown around about our race, so I wanted to do a quick recap: Cory Gardner and GOP groups are spending $24.8 million to defeat our campaign. That includes launching nasty attacks against me, false ads to prop up my opponent, and a massive voter outreac…

Sorry

  Sorry for reaching out on a Saturday, folks, but we missed our daily goal yesterday, and it’s kind of a big deal. Falling short, even for a day, can completely throw off our plan to win this election and flip Colorado’s Senate seat. You see, every dollar that comes in the door today…

Personally reaching out

  TGIF, folks. To be honest, campaigning during a pandemic is tough. A new poll shows this race in single digits against our Republican opponent. Right-wing groups are launching new attacks against me — to the tune of $24.8 million. And Cory Gardner reported double the cash-on-hand of…

The pressure is on

  Hello — I wish I had better news, but I’m looking at our numbers and we’re not on pace to reach our goal before next week’s mid-FEC deadline. We need to raise exactly $10,000 by midnight to stay on track for the month. The pressure is on here. The latest poll shows this race within …

The Voting Rights Act

  Hello, On this day in 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law banning racial discrimination at the ballot box. Civil Rights heroes, like Representative John Lewis, risked their lives for the right to vote. They marched, bloodied and bruised, for the chance to exert their Con…

We’re in a strong position to flip this seat

  The latest poll in our race has our Republican opponent within single digits of our campaign, while Mitch McConnell’s right-wing donor network spends an outrageous sum of money to attack John Hickenlooper with misleading ads. But, there’s good news: Despite the $9 million they’ve sp…

August

  Hello — I’m reaching out to ask if you’ll support our campaign with a critical donation today. But first, let me briefly explain. August is a very important month for our campaign. Not only is it a notoriously difficult month for fundraising, but we’re running out of time to prepare…

Shocking information

  We just learned some shocking information that could change the entire trajectory of our race. My opponent, Republican incumbent Cory Gardner, is flooding the airwaves with $8.5 million to defeat us. Keep in mind, this is on top of the nearly $9 million right-wing groups have alread…

  Hello — Our campaign is the best chance Democrats have to flip a Senate seat, and the only way we can win is if lots of people like you keep making grassroots donations to help us fight back against Republican attacks. Quite honestly, if Democrats don’t win in Colorado there’s very …

BREAKING: President Obama endorsed our campaign

We have a bit of a situation here

  The situation: Last week, an independent poll showed this race in single digits against our Republican opponent after right-wing groups spent $9 million attacking John Hickenlooper. Why this matters: Republicans believe they have momentum in Colorado. And now that Cory Gardner has b…

The domino effect

Not a single penny

  Hello, Cory Gardner is ranked as the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for re-election, which is why Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell’s network of shady donors are working overtime to help him buy this election out from under us. Outside Republican groups have already dumped $9 …

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…

Single digits?!

Ivanka Trump is here to stump for Cory Gardner

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…
