FWD: My campaign manager just called me and told me not to freak out.

  Folks, I need to re-up this urgent message because we’re still in the red. Look, we didn’t reach our FEC goal last night. Not great — but I refuse to let that derail us. Please, if you can, donate $10 or more to help us get back on track for the final, most important stretch of this…

A margin-of-error race in Colorado

  Urgent — A recent poll in Colorado’s Senate race shows how close our race has been: John Hickenlooper (D): 46% Cory Gardner (R-inc): 44% Morning Consult Look, this isn’t great news. The GOP has been hammering us with $30 million to try to defeat our campaign and Mitch McConnell’s su…

Proud

  Friends, We’ve asked a lot of you these past few months, and you have delivered each and every time. So I want to take a moment to say thank you, from the bottom of my banjo. When I first ran for public office, I did it because I believed that our community deserved better. We deser…

We only have 20 days to pull this off

  Folks — I would really appreciate it if you would add a donation to my campaign before tonight’s final FEC deadline. The GOP is flooding our state with $30 million and we only have 20 days left to pull this off. I could really use your help. If you've saved your payment information …

My campaign manager just called me and told me not to freak out.

  Okay, my campaign manager just called me and told me not to freak out. It turns out, we’re way off track on our projections. We’ve fallen so far behind all of our online goals that our gap is growing wider by the minute — right before our most important FEC deadline tonight. I’ll be…

Yikes: “Gardner defends record, Trump’s morality in final debate”

  Did you catch last night’s debate? Here’s all you need to know: “Gardner defends record, Trump’s morality in final debate” — AP News Cory Gardner is too weak to stand up to his party. He’s lied about his record. He’s fought to sabotage our health care. He’s voted to give tax breaks …

Okay don’t freak out

  Folks — I don’t want to freak you out, but I have to be brutally honest about the situation we’re facing right now. The truth is, as of this morning, we’re projected to fall short on our 50,000 grassroots donations goal before midnight — which would plunge our budget into chaos with…

a barrage of new attacks

Not "I" but "we"

  Hello, For as long as I’ve known the Gov (which is a very long time), he has always refused to use the word “I” — he would scribble it out of speeches, cut it from emails, ignore ad scripts that mentioned it. The Gov always said that he didn’t do anything — we did. That’s something …
