An update on the year so far

  It’s hard to believe, folks, but it’s already April! So I want to give you all a brief update on what we’ve been working on so far this year: In March, we passed the Postal Service Reform Act, which will modernize USPS and improve mail service for all Americans, especially those in …

from bad to worse

  Folks — I don't want to see Mitch McConnell back in charge, and I know you don't either. But things just went from bad to worse in my race that will decide Senate control: First, polling showed me 3 points behind my opponent — a far-right extremist handpicked by Mitch McConnell who …

The Timberland Pale and Sagebrush Stout

  Folks, I’m not your typical politician. For years, I was a geologist. Then, I got laid off and opened a brewpub in downtown Denver. Our flagship brews were the Timberland Pale and Sagebrush Stout — we sold them for $2.25 a pint. I loved the brewpub. I loved bringing people together …

Historic

  Folks — We’re on the verge of a historic moment for our country. On Monday, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court moved out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, bringing her one step closer to a confirmation vote before the full Senate. Judge Jackson will make …

Thank you

  Hi folks — I’m reaching out today with some great news. Thanks to your support last month, not only did we hit our first end-of-quarter goal of the year, but we surpassed it. That’s huge, folks. I want to personally thank you for your continued support. Now, my team and I are gearin…

Down by 1%

  Team, a recent poll shows me losing this race by just one point against a Republican opponent. We knew this race wouldn’t be easy. Last year the National GOP and a Mitch McConnell-aligned super PAC raised a combined $200 million to flip seats like mine. Now, polling shows me down. M…

Keeping this short

  Keeping this short, folks: Our first FEC deadline of 2022 is tonight at midnight — and I’m getting pretty worried we might not reach our goal. That’s a big deal because once we file our report, all of our fundraising numbers from this year will go public and everyone will see just h…

I have a fun fact to share

  Folks, I have a fun fact to share. I recently became the first Senator to receive the Golden Gavel this Congress! The Golden Gavel is given to the first Senator to log 100 hours of presiding over each Senate session, and I’m honored to receive it. You see, learning the rules and pro…

Trump just came to Georgia

NH is now a toss-up

  Team — My team gave me some urgent news that I need to share with you. Political experts just reported that New Hampshire is now a toss-up. Team: if I lose, Democrats will lose the Senate majority. Extreme GOP groups have already spent over $7.5 million attacking me, and polls are s…

Would you do it?

  Folks, I have a question: If all it took to preserve and expand our Democratic majorities, transition our country to clean energy, and lower costs for families was a contribution worth as much as a cup of coffee — would you do it? I’m sure you see where I’m going here, but it’s real…

The Postal Service Reform Act

  Folks — Millions of Americans depend on the U.S. Postal Service to receive everything from paychecks to prescription medications to even mail-in ballots. But recently, delivery times have been unacceptably slow — especially in rural areas. That’s why I was so thrilled when the Senat…

our race just moved closer to a toss-up

  Hi folks — Normally, I like to give a quick pitch for our mid-month fundraising drives. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all really important — especially with our razor-thin Senate majority. But this time, I’ve got 11.7 million reasons why this one is especially important. Why 11.7 mill…

gearing up for a fight

Here’s how we defend the Senate
