URGENT: Georgia update

  This is urgent, folks: We're now officially going to the runoff in Georgia's Senate special election — but my opponent just UPPED her spend to $23 million of her personal fortune to defeat me, and I need your help. With recent polls showing me in the lead, Mitch McConnell is lining …

our last chance

  Folks, here’s the latest update on the Georgia Senate runoff: Jon Ossoff’s Republican opponent just booked $10 MILLION worth of TV ads through January 5th. The GOP is sparing no expense to attack Jon and solidify their Republican Senate majority. And unless we help Jon’s campaign fi…

Urgent update about Georgia

  Team, I really need your help: We need to wire $50,000 to the TV stations by 7 p.m. TONIGHT to keep our brand-new runoff ads on the air — but right now, we're falling just short. Election experts from Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight to The New York Times are saying that this race will…

re: Facebook’s ad ban

  Folks, We have to help Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock win their critical Senate runoffs in Georgia. Mitch McConnell knows this is his last chance to hold onto his Senate majority, so the GOP is dumping MILLIONS of dollars to attack Jon and Rev. Warnock. Democrats CAN still …

I need your help

  Folks, I just want to say thank you. Because of the strength of our grassroots movement, we’ve proven pundits wrong and forced the GOP into a runoff election. We've shown the country that a new South is coming — one that is bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking. And we've come one s…

Today, the Supreme Court began its hearing on the ACA

  Hello, Today — thanks to the Trump administration and Washington Republicans — the Supreme Court heard arguments in a lawsuit that could overturn the Affordable Care Act and strip life-saving care from millions of people with pre-existing conditions. It’s outrageous. I ran my campai…

I need your help to flip the Senate

  Friend, my U.S. Senate race in Georgia is headed to a January 5 runoff. If I don’t win it, Mitch McConnell and the GOP will keep their Senate majority. Georgia voters showed up in full force this fall, and SHATTERED all-time Democratic turnout records. I even won the most votes of A…

Jon Ossoff and Reverend Warnock

Jon Ossoff needs our immediate help

  Folks, Jon Ossoff needs our immediate help. Jon’s toss-up Senate race in Georgia is heading for a runoff against his far-right opponent! Now that Republicans have another chance to keep this seat red and protect their Senate majority, you can bet they’ll throw every dirty trick Jon’…

FWD: This is an urgent situation (Georgia)

This is an urgent situation (Georgia)

Thank you

This might be the last time you hear from me

  I’ve been having trouble sleeping, folks. It always happens this close to an election. I’m worried that we didn’t do enough to combat Mitch McConnell’s barrage of attacks. I’m worried that his last-minute ad blitz took a toll on our campaign and we might not have the time to fight b…

Your final donation?

a third option?

  Ugh, we’ve got some bad news: Donations have slowed down in the final hours of this race. If we fall behind our final get-out-the-vote goal, that means we could lose tomorrow. So the way we see it, we’ve got two options: Either more people need to chip in before it’s too late; Or,…

I’m worried I just cost us this election

  I wish this wasn’t the case, folks, but I just made another tough decision that could make-or-break our shot at flipping Colorado — and the Senate — blue. To be blunt, we weren’t expecting our fundraising to dip as much as it has. Right now, we do not have enough money to turn out t…

November 2, 2020 at 6:09 PM

Typo?

  This is it — folks! Democrats only have to flip four seats tomorrow to take back the Senate majority. And our best chance to flip one of those seats is right here in Colorado. Will you chip in $4 right now — nope, not a typo! That’s just $1 for every seat we need to flip — to help u…

We don’t trust the polls

  Real quick, folks — We’ve only reached out to 87% of the undecided voters that we will need to win this election — and we’re running out of time to make sure they hear from us before tomorrow! We don’t trust the polls. Will you rush $10 or more to help us raise $15,000 in the next h…

It all boils down to this

  Everything that we have spent months building boils down to this: Democrats cannot take back the Senate without winning in Colorado. Republican groups are slamming our campaign with over $20 million in attacks. We have a slim lead, but if the polls were wrong in 2016 — they could…
