Our job before John takes the stage tonight

  The situation: Tonight, John Hickenlooper will debate Cory Gardner for the first time. He’ll make the case that Gardner’s weak leadership has failed us, and it’s time for him to go. Why this matters: Republicans believe they have momentum in Colorado. They’ve booked $30 million in a…

Tomorrow’s debate

  Folks — Tomorrow John will go head to head with Cory Gardner for the first time. We know John will crush this debate. We have no doubt he’ll hold Gardner accountable, put forth bold new ideas to make Colorado and America work for everyone, and prove he has what it takes to win this …

Wow

  Wow — I cannot believe it’s already October. This scrappy team has come so far and accomplished so much. But with only 33 days left, we cannot slow down — not even for a second. That’s why I will have to ask you to add a donation at the end of this email. But first, I really hope yo…

Pesky

  Folks: I just got off the phone with my finance team and you won’t believe the news — we only need to raise $13,480 in the next few hours to reach our FEC fundraising goal! Can you make a contribution now to close the gap? The GOP is hammering us with attacks, and we need your help …

IT. IS. ON.

  It. Is. On, folks. As you know, our FEC fundraising deadline is tonight at midnight and ballots will be mailed out in just over a week. The polls show an incredibly tight race between John and Cory Gardner — we’re only up by 5% in one of the latest polls! So to be clear — this deadl…

Incredibly short

  Folks, I’m getting ready for a long day of Zoom meetings, so I’ll keep this incredibly short. We’re still behind on our goal before the FEC deadline and I would really appreciate it if you could add a donation of $10, $25, whatever you can afford before midnight. The GOP is hammerin…

You’ve been putting up with a lot of emails from us, so we’ll keep this short

  You’ve been putting up with a lot of emails from us lately, folks, so we’ll keep this one super short. The most important FEC deadline of our campaign so far ends tomorrow at midnight. Once we close the books, our numbers will go public. Soon after that, we’ll make some tough decisi…

36 people from Philadelphia

  Quick update, folks — We just ran the numbers and if we can get 36 people from Philadelphia to chip in a donation by midnight, we’ll be on track for our September fundraising goal tomorrow. We’re running out of time to close this gap, and with Republican groups spending $30 million …

Ugh, this isn’t great

How I do my budget calculations

How we stay competitive

A small slip-up

  Oops… We just tallied up our daily fundraising total. Turns out, we’ve got a $15,000 gap. Look, all of our hard work will amount to a hill of beans if we can’t reach our fundraising goal by midnight. Any slip up this close to Election Day could jeopardize our plan to flip this seat …

Surprise!

  Mitch McConnell is going all-out these last few weeks in a last-ditch effort to keep his grip on Senate control. It’s a page right out of the GOP’s playbook: Call on right-wing mega-donors and corporate PACs to write seven-figure checks. In exchange, these special interests will ge…
