I’m grateful for the COVID-19 vaccines

  Hey there — This week I learned that I had tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19. At the recommendation of my doctors, I’ll be quarantining for a while to keep folks safe and avoid spreading the virus. Today, I’m feeling good and am in great spirits. I’m spending some …

We missed our fundraising goal

  Hey there — Our mid-quarter fundraising deadline expired at midnight last night and unfortunately, we fell short of our goal. My team says we are still behind by $1,892, so we’re extending the deadline to midnight tonight to try and close this gap. I really hate sending these pesky …

Just you

  Hi folks — John has been fighting for working families around the clock over the past few weeks (literally — one voting session even lasted until 5 AM!). We don’t want to bother John while he’s focused on his important work in Washington, but we are falling drastically behind on our…

I owe you an explanation

  Hi there — In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign, but first, I hope you will give me a moment to explain why this request is so important — especially today. Last year, this incredible team flipped this Senate seat and sent a Democratic major…

Breaking news

Unacceptable

  Hello — On this day in 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law banning discrimination at the ballot box. Civil Rights heroes like Congressman John Lewis risked their lives for the right to vote. They marched, bloodied and bruised, for the chance to exert their Constitutional…

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene

Keeping this short

  Hi there, I’ll keep this short so you can get back to your weekend. Our end-of-month deadline expires at midnight, and we are still a little shy of our target. Your $5 here and $10 there allows us to build the resources we need to protect our fragile Democratic majorities. So, I wou…

The summer slump has hit us hard

  Hi there — Here are three things you need to know: The Senate is split 50-50 and Vice President Kamala Harris is the tie-breaker. That means Mitch McConnell only has to flip one seat to reclaim the majority and turn the Senate back into a legislative graveyard. Senate Republicans …

I was never “cool”

  I was never “cool” growing up. I was the skinny kid with Coke-bottle glasses and a funny last name. For years, I was a geologist. Then, I got laid off and opened a brewpub in downtown Denver. I play the banjo. And I make some pretty corny jokes. It’s clear I’m not your typical polit…
