Fact!

  Just the facts today, folks — FACT: Democrats must flip four Republican-held Senate seats to take our government back next month, and most political experts agree that Colorado is the most likely race to flip. FACT: GOP groups bankrolled by Mitch McConnell’s right-wing donor network…

No room for error

  It’s go time, folks. In any other election, we would have more time to reach undecided voters and secure victory in this competitive race. But this isn’t a normal election — ballots are coming in fast. In fact, 14% of people have already voted. That means this election is being deci…

I’ve never seen anything like this before

  I’ve never seen anything like this, folks. Coloradans are returning their ballots faster than ever. Already 14% of expected voters have mailed in their ballots, which means this election could be decided in the next few days. Honestly, that’s pretty scary considering polls show a cl…

Fwd: Re: Today’s #s

  Folks, Was just emailing with the Gov before we wrapped up today. As you can see, he’s pretty disappointed with where things stand. He knows this race is in single digits and with just 17 days to go, we’re all a little on edge. As of 5:33pm MT, we’re still $4,192.63 behind our daily…

Major upset

  Hello, 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. Their multi-million dollar blitz has shrunk this race to as close as two points accordin…

The Hickenlooper Curve

  Hello — When I was little, I was just about the worst baseball player Little League had ever seen. I was small, skinny, and younger than all of the other kids. And by the time I turned 12, I accepted the hard truth: that I would never be able to hit a ball. But my dad loved baseball…

First, then, now, so

  FIRST: Almost every political forecaster ranked Colorado as the key to taking back Senate control because everyone knows we’re the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat blue. BUT THEN: Republican groups dumped outrageous sums of money — to the tune of nearly $37 million — to …

I just made cuts to our budget

  Folks, I’ll be honest: We have had a rough start to October (like really rough), which means I had to make tough cuts to our budget. At the same time, Republicans are swimming in cash, and we just learned that Mitch McConnell’s super PAC made a huge investment to help the GOP keep C…
