We’re falling behind

  Hi team — Our end-of-quarter deadline is approaching quickly, 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 and meeting with folks back home in Colorado, John’s had a…

Can I explain?

  Folks — Our final and most important deadline of this fundraising quarter expires this Thursday. It’s critical we hit our goal, but first, I hope you’ll let me explain why: After midnight on June 30th, my team will start preparing a public report of every contribution from the past …

Roe v. Wade

  Folks — Last Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, tossing out abortion access for millions of Americans. Like many of you, I’m furious. Reproductive rights have been protected by our Constitution for almost fifty years, and now that freedom has been shattered. Now it’s …

Roe v. Wade

  Friends — The Supreme Court has struck down the right to safe and legal abortion, and the protections that generations of Americans were born with are gone. It’s an enormous step back for our country. In Arizona, Trump just endorsed one of my opponents who wants to go even further a…

We'll cut right to the chase

  Hey team — We don’t want to take up too much of your time today, so we’ll cut right to the chase: Will you chip in to help us reach our end-of-quarter goal before the deadline expires next week? Right now, we’re pacing behind where we need to be to hit our goal, so a donation of any…

If they think I’m going to roll over, they don’t know me

  Team — We’re just a few days away from one of the biggest deadlines we’ve faced so far in this campaign. Soon, all the progress we’ve made funding this grassroots movement here in Colorado will be public for everyone to see (and scrutinize). Hundreds of hardworking Americans have al…

re: DACA

  Hi folks! Last Wednesday marked the 10-year anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Since DACA was created, it has protected more than 800,000 immigrants who were brought to the United States as kids and know no other home. Dreamers have been contri…

I'm personally asking before tonight's deadline

  Midterm elections are historically challenging for the party in power — and I won my last midterm race by just 1.7%. In less than two weeks, the Colorado GOP will pick between two radical opponents who want to restrict abortion access, and National Republicans are already dropping …

We’re officially up against Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate, Herschel Walker

Mondays, right?

  Hey folks — I’m not a huge fan of Mondays, and I’m sure you aren’t either. After spending the weekend with my family and friends, it’s not always easy to get back into the swing of things. There is one exception, though. The best Monday of my life was on January 4, 2021. It was the…

The story behind my tattoos

  Hey, it's John Fetterman. We both know I don’t look like a typical politician. Maybe that’s why my tattoos are *literally* the first thing people Google about me. Well enough Googling. Today I’ll tell you about my tattoos myself. On my left arm I have the zip code 15104. That’s Bra…

It’s humbling to be your nominee for U.S. Senate.

  Friends — I’m honored to officially be North Carolina Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Senate. This moment could not have happened without the support of tens of thousands of people like you. It’s humbling. But the truth is, it is only going to get harder from here. There is a lot of wor…

This race isn't just about Democrats vs. Republicans

  Ron Hanks might be the frontrunner in the GOP primary to flip my seat, but he doesn’t reflect Colorado’s values, team. He’s an insurrectionist who loudly championed Trump’s Big Lie while trying to make it harder to vote here in Colorado. He wants to repeal the ACA, which would stri…

I really need you if we’re going to hold this seat

  Friends — I’ll be honest with you. I never thought this is how it’d go. When Gabby and I got married, I never thought this is the way things would turn out. I never thought I’d run for public office. She was the elected official in the family, and on the International Space Station,…

Hold on to your hats
