This is an emergency

  Hello — Yesterday we missed our last fundraising goal before the election and now we’re scrambling to catch up. Here’s why this matters: Your contributions have powered our campaign since day one. And in the closing weeks of this race, you’ve helped our campaign respond to the onsla…

They said what?!

  Here’s what the headlines are saying: CNN says Cory Gardner is the most vulnerable Republican Senator in 2020! NBC ranks Colorado as one of the top races most likely to decide Senate control! The Washington Post lists Colorado as one of the most competitive Senate races of 2020! …

Running out of time!

  Folks — we’re running out of time. Our final fundraising goal ends at midnight. The GOP is launching last-minute attacks against us. This is our last chance to raise the resources we need to win — and if we fall short, we could lose in three days. Here’s why we need a big surge of g…

Sounding the alarm

  Quickly checking in. We’ll keep this short. Tonight at midnight, we’ll close the books on the final fundraising deadline of this campaign. But our finance team is sounding the alarm that we’re about to fall short. If we don’t catch up, our campaign manager may have to end some of ou…

Well, this is embarrassing

  With just three days to go until Election Day, here’s what you need to know: The good news: John Hickenlooper is the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat blue and end Mitch McConnell’s reign. Cory Gardner’s approval rating has been even lower than Trump’s (how embarrassing!)…

This race is not over

  Hello — I just spoke to my campaign manager — we’re trying to find every last dollar we can to fund our final paid media and organizing programs. So, I told her I’d reach out to this incredible grassroots team. You see, Republicans are blasting us with negative TV ads just as a bulk…

I really didn’t want to do this

  I really did not want to send this email today, folks, but I have no other choice. Unless we raise $114,683 in the next few hours, I will have to make drastic cuts to our get-out-the-vote budget. This could seriously jeopardize our campaign with Election Day three days away. Right n…

Boo!

Cory Gardner is going to Disney World to celebrate his victory?!

  Well folks — we just got word: Cory Gardner is planning a post-election getaway to Disney World to raise money for his PAC and celebrate a victory with his wealthy donors. Look, this trip worries us a lot. First of all, it is unforgivable that — win or lose — Cory is skipping town f…

Bearing bad news

With less than one week left, we need to know

  Folks, we’re five days out from this election, so we need to know: Will you take a stand to fight off the GOP’s attacks and flip Colorado blue or will you stay on the sidelines and let Republican groups buy this seat? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, yo…

Either/or

  Folks, we’ve got some bad news: Donations have significantly slowed down this week, and we’re tracking behind our $1,000,000 end-of-month goal. Falling short this close to Election Day is not an option. But, here are some other options: Either more people need to pitch in before Sa…

Game. Over.

  We’ll be quick — Our final major fundraising deadline of this election is just three days away and we’re only 70% of the way there. That means we need to raise $100,000 every single day to stay on track. Falling short here could mean game over because right-wing groups backed by Mit…

A lot has changed
