The GOP is speeding up

  "I will vote to confirm." I couldn’t get that out of my head last night, folks. With just 42 days before Election Day, Cory Gardner has announced that he will vote for Trump’s likely dangerous right-wing Supreme Court nominee. I shouldn’t be surprised. Time and again, Gardner has ai…

NYT Reports:

  Did you see this New York Times article about Cory Gardner supporting Trump’s likely radical Supreme Court nominee, folks? "Cory Gardner gave the president the votes he needs." Well, that’s a punch in the gut. As expected, Gardner is too spineless to stand up to Trump and the Republ…

BREAKING: New poll has our race in single digits

  Hello — My team just handed me another survey from a top political pollster saying our race is within single digits just hours after Cory Gardner agreed to support Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. Quick — this is the most important moment of this campaign and we need your help.…

Trump was right

  Hello, Donald Trump was right this morning when he said Cory Gardner is “very loyal to the party” because Gardner just announced he’ll support Trump’s likely radical far-right nominee to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg — breaking his own commitment from 2016. I’m not surprised. This is …

5 points

  The situation: This morning, Donald Trump said his Supreme Court nomination would help Cory Gardner’s re-election and that Gardner is “loyal to the party.” Why this matters: A recent poll has Gardner within just 5 points of us. If we can’t raise the funds necessary to fight back, Re…

re: Cory Gardner

  Hello — I need to ask you to make an emergency contribution in a few moments to help flip Colorado’s Senate seat. I hope you can spare a very quick second to let me explain why this request is so important, especially now that the Supreme Court is literally on the line. As you surel…

BREAKING: Trump says Gardner is “loyal to the party”

  BREAKING: Trump says Gardner is “loyal to the party” and will help him approve another far-right Supreme Court nominee We told you so! Gardner is too weak to stand up to Trump and McConnell, which is why we need to flip this Senate seat. Rush an emergency contribution of any amount …

I have hope

  We’re the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat and take back the majority, but the GOP is flooding Colorado with $30 million to attack me and prop up my opponent. I know how incredibly difficult, scary, and overwhelming things are right now, but I have hope. We can win this.…

Sorry

  Sorry for all the emails, folks, but it’s urgent — 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…

Just hung up the phone

  My campaign manager just called me in a panic, folks. Turns out, Cory Gardner (my rank-and-file Republican opponent) just upped his ad budget by $500,000 and now Republicans are outspending us by nearly $1 million in the final weeks of this race. I’ll be honest, we were not expectin…

Trump wants to push Supreme Court nominee "without delay"

  Here’s the latest in the Supreme Court fight, folks — Mitch McConnell is moving at the speed of light to help Trump install another far-right Supreme Court nominee who will likely attack our fundamental rights, strike down the Affordable Care Act, and overturn Roe v. Wade. Trump u…

My message yesterday

  It's really important you see my message from yesterday, folks: Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are promising to ram through a right-wing Supreme Court nomination with only 44 days left until the election. And my opponent's complete silence is deafening. It is beyond critical we wi…

I need to be honest with you

  Folks, I’ll be honest: We have had a rough start to September, which means I’m considering tough cuts to our budget. At the same time, Republicans are swimming in cash, and I read a new article this week that GOP mega-donor, Sheldon Adelson is about to invest another $20-50 million …

This race will be decided in the coming weeks

  Here’s a quick update on our race, folks: Republicans have spent a whopping $30 million on misleading ads targeting John and our campaign in an attempt to distort his record and trick voters. Most of the recent polls show a tight, single digit race — including a survey that showed…

The silence is deafening

  Hello, We have to take back the Senate. There is no other option. So before I go any further, I have to ask: Will you make a donation of anything you can right now to help us flip this seat, take back the Senate, and give our country leaders we can trust to do what’s right: If you'v…

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The nerve of Cory Gardner!

We cannot make any mistakes

  Hello, We’ve spent hours looking over reports, finalizing projection models, and poring over the voter file to reach our “need to win” stat — a.k.a. the exact number of undecided voters we need to reach before Election Day to win this toss-up race. This winning strategy will work, b…

$1

  First, the bad news: We fell $275,000 short of our mid-month fundraising goal. This goal is critical to keeping our operations running at full capacity through Election Day, and missing it could mean tough budget cuts. The good news is, there’s still time to catch up! We’ve extended…
