I’m personally asking for your support to defend our slim Senate majority

  Team, in a moment I’m going to ask you to generously split a $10 donation between John and my re-election campaign, but first, give me a moment to outline the work we’ve done since you helped John win and flip the Senate majority last year. Thanks to supporters like you, we flipped …

Food Bank of the Rockies

  Hi folks, This Thanksgiving looks quite different than it did last year, thanks to the work of scientists and to the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. For many of us, this will be the first time we’ll sit down for Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family since 2019 — and that…

Re: Nevada

  Hi team, if you have a few moments, I’d love to tell you a little bit about my good friend and colleague, Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. Catherine says her parents taught her she could accomplish anything with hard work, honesty, and respect for others. She took that lesson …

PETITION: Reproductive Rights

  Folks, Next week, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments regarding a Mississippi abortion law that threatens the future of Roe v. Wade. With the Supreme Court stacked with three right-wing justices appointed by Donald Trump, this case could be the tipping point in the GOP’s batt…

Regardless of my opponent, this will be a hard-fought race

  Hello — In 2016, I won by only 1,017 votes, beating the incumbent Republican in one of the closest races in history. Regardless of who my opponent is in 2022, this will be a hard-fought race, and I'm not taking anything for granted. With our 50-50 Senate majority, Republicans only h…

sorry

  Hey team, sorry for popping into your inbox again, but this can’t wait. We just checked the status on our mid-quarter fundraising goal and it looks like we’ll miss it unless we see a surge of grassroots donations before midnight. Mitch McConnell and his allies seem pretty confident …

Mitch McConnell is feeling optimistic

  Folks — Last week, Mitch McConnell was boasting that the midterm elections will be a “very good election for Republicans.” Let me explain: The president’s party typically loses seats during the midterm elections. It happened in 2010 during the Obama administration. And in 2018 durin…

SCOTUS

Boo!
