Humbly asking for $10 before midnight

  Hi, folks! Mark Kelly here. I’m writing to you today to humbly ask if you can make a contribution before our fundraising deadline ends at midnight tonight. This is a big one, and we can’t come up short. So, I asked John if I could reach out to some of his top supporters. Let me expl…

re: Citizens United

  Folks — There’s simply too much dark money in our politics. How’d that happen? Well, twelve years ago, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Citizens United, opening the floodgates for unchecked dark money to directly influence our elections and our government. It was — and …

Humbly asking

  I’ll keep this short, folks: Our mid-quarter deadline expires in just a few hours, but we’re behind on our target. Every dollar you pitch in helps us prepare to protect and expand our Senate majority in this year’s midterm election. And with numerous polls showing tight races for De…

$3

  Folks — The Cook Political Report shows three Democratic Senate races in toss-up territory: Rev. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Mark Kelly of Arizona and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada. With the Senate split 50-50, the GOP only needs to flip one seat to reclaim the majority. And Mitc…

A new poll shows Michael Bennet one point down

It’s time to go one step further

  Folks — Climate change isn’t some theoretical future problem, it’s happening right now — taking a toll on our crops, our homes, and our health. We need to take action immediately. I’m proud of all the great climate provisions that were included in our Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill …

$122 million

  From hosting high-dollar Mar-A-Lago fundraisers to organizing MAGA rallies across the country, it’s clear Donald Trump is putting his thumb on the scale in this year’s midterm elections. And since he left the White House, his fundraising hasn’t slowed down a bit — Trump is still rak…

We have good news and bad news

  Hi there, our first end-of-month fundraising deadline of 2022 expires in just a few hours and the bad news is, we’re pretty far behind on our target. To be honest, a fundraising slump isn’t a huge surprise. Between fighting to pass critical legislation in Washington and meeting with…

Underestimated...

  When I became a Senator, I was underestimated. The GOP called me the “accidental Senator” and doubted my ability to deliver for Coloradans and get re-elected. So, I got to work proving them wrong. Last year, I secured tax cuts for working families; helped keep nearly 4 million kids …

Can I quickly explain?

  Hi there, can I quickly explain something? It’s no secret that our Senate majority isn’t as strong as we’d like it to be. Right now, the chamber is split 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaker. That means Mitch McConnell only has to flip one seat this Nov…

BREAKING: A far-right Trump Republican just announced his campaign against me

  Team — A far-right Republican just jumped into New Hampshire's Senate race to defeat me and flip control of the Senate. In 2016, I won by only 1,017 votes, beating the incumbent Republican in one of the closest races in history. And now, polls are showing that this race could be eve…

  Hey there folks, did you know the average online contribution to our campaign this month is just $14.55? I’m so proud of that fact. That number means we’re powered by folks like you chipping in $5, $10, or $15 at a time, not shady special interests. There will never be a question of…

Enough is enough

  Team — Our right to vote is under attack. In 2021, more than 400 bills restricting voting rights were introduced in 49 states — and several of those anti-democratic bills were signed into law. Today, the Senate is debating legislation to combat this assault on our democracy by prote…
