Enough

  Content warning: This email contains descriptions of gun violence. Hello — As a parent, the pain of this moment is indescribable. My heart is heavy for the victims of the horrific tragedy in Uvalde, Texas. We mourn deeply for them, their families, and the community. This nightmare …

re: Michael Bennet’s insurrectionist opponent

  Team — Michael Bennet — John’s good friend and colleague serving Colorado in the Senate — is in a competitive re-election race, and polls show the race could be decided by just one point. Republicans only need to flip one seat to take control of the Senate, and they’ve got their eye…

I know these emails can be a little annoying

  Hey there — My team and I were just running through our budget and noticed our finances aren’t where we’d like them to be at this point in the month. I know these emails can feel a little annoying at times. To be honest, asking for your hard-earned money is my least favorite part of…

The CORE Act

  Folks — Colorado is a special place. From the beautiful, rolling plains to the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, our state is called “colorful Colorado” for a reason. We need to make sure these special places are protected for the next generation. That’s why we introduced the Colorado O…

I’m officially the Democratic nominee in Pennsylvania

  I just became the Democratic Nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, and I am so deeply honored. And trust me, I do NOT take being the *official* Democratic candidate for the #1 Most Likely to Flip U.S. Senate seat in the country for granted. Nor do I take going up against our Repu…

Hate to bother you

  Hi folks — I hate to bother you over the weekend, so I’ll keep this brief. Our mid-quarter fundraising deadline expires at midnight tonight and we’re falling behind on our goal. With Senate Republicans blocking legislation to protect reproductive freedom, it’s never been more critic…

Everything could change in Colorado

  Team — We know you’re enjoying your weekend, but with our mid-quarter fundraising deadline set to expire tomorrow at midnight, we wanted to send a quick note to explain why meeting our goal is so critical: National Republicans broke all-time fundraising records for an off-year last…

We just secured the Democratic nomination for Senate

  Hello — Someone once asked Wilbur Wright what the secret was to his success. His answer? “Choose good parents, and be born in Ohio.” That couldn’t be more true. Last week — thanks to folks like you — we secured the Democratic nomination for Senate. I’m so proud of this team and the …

Lives are at stake

  Folks — Protecting our Democratic majority has never been more important. After a draft of the Supreme Court's majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked last week, it’s clear reproductive rights are under grave threat. That’s why I signed on as a co-sponsor and voted in fa…

Checking in

So angry I can hardly type

  I’m so damn angry I can hardly type this message to you: A leaked draft opinion shows the Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, and they could make that ruling official soon. It’s our worst nightmare coming true – the END of Roe v. Wade. I ain’t gonna lie to you: The Sena…

We must fight back

  Hi folks, This week’s news out of the Supreme Court is nothing short of heartbreaking — and like many of you, I’m furious. Republicans have been fighting to strip people of their reproductive rights for decades — well, really since the Court handed down their landmark decision in Ro…

Reproductive rights are non-negotiable

  Friend — The Supreme Court’s leaked opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is unacceptable. Reproductive rights are non-negotiable. Period. For almost 50 years, Roe v. Wade has been the law of the land and protected the constitutional right to choose. If Roe is overturned, lives will be at…

An insurrectionist is on the Colorado GOP Senate primary ballot

  The Colorado GOP recently finalized their slate of opponents in hopes of flipping my seat. And, team, January 6th insurrectionist and climate change denier Ron Hanks secured his spot on the primary ballot. Hanks’ momentum has grown steadily week after week and this is the next big s…

  Hey folks — I know you’re itching to log off and get your weekend started — so if you can hear me out for just one moment, I promise I’ll be out of here in a pinch. Tomorrow night, we’ll be closing the books on our fundraising for the month. We’re gearing up for a busy summer before…

What if we told you...

We must keep the Senate blue

$141 million

  Team — We need to brace ourselves for right-wing ads to flood our state, and be ready to defend Colorado Democrats from anything coming our way. Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC just announced that it’s spending $141 million on TV ads in battleground states like Arizona, Nevada, and Geor…

The Senate must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act

from bad to worse

The Timberland Pale and Sagebrush Stout

Down by 1%
