Protecting the frontlines of our democracy.

Hi John, Control of Congress is up for grabs this November, and Colorado has a front-row seat with some of our country’s most contested races happening right here.  One of those races is in Colorado’s 8th District, which is currently represented by Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo. She beat out the poll…

Will you help us defend reproductive freedom?

This past Monday marked 51 years since the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling established the constitutional right to an abortion. We hope you saw Shad’s story about how the right to an abortion has personally impacted his family - if not, we’re including it below.   As we know, our current Supreme Court,…

Abortion hits home for me.

John, the right to have an abortion is deeply personal to me.  Today is the 51st anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that established the constitutional right to an abortion. In 2022, the Supreme Court made the reckless decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade with its Dobbs decision, threatenin…

Becoming a Democratic delegate, explained.

John,  Did you know that you play a pivotal role in protecting our democracy in 2024 beyond simply voting? Yes, seriously.  You can also help choose the candidates and issues we fight for as a party in November. How?  By becoming a Democratic delegate at our upcoming precinct caucuses between March …

all talk no action, Republicans.

literally. Howdy John, You know, Colorado Republicans like to stretch the truth. They claim that they are being ‘silenced’ by Democrats who hold the majority in the legislature:But we did a little bit of research and found these blatantly political claims to be totally false. It turns out that Repu…

You can help shape democracy.

Hi John, Between March 7 and 9, Colorado Democrats will be hosting precinct caucuses across our state.  Precinct caucuses take place in neighborhoods statewide - there will be more than 3,000 of them! - and give voters a chance to determine which candidates end up on the ballot and what issues we fi…

3 years since the attack on the Capitol.

Today marks the three-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, a day that will be remembered as a dark stain in our nation’s history. Ensuring such a violent assault on our democracy never repeats itself should be an American imperative.  Sadly, Donald Trump and his MAGA acolytes, like Lau…

Fwd: Lauren Boebert is a coward

Did you see this message on Thursday, John? Lauren Boebert is abandoning her constituents in CD-03 because she’s worried they’ll vote her out of office. Now, she’s moving to CD-04 because she thinks she has a surer chance of winning there.Before she squandered her chances of winning CD-03 and scrape…

Lauren Boebert is a coward

Hi John, Did you see the news?   Lauren Boebert announced that she’ll abandon her constituents in Western and Southern Colorado and will instead run in Colorado’s 4th District — a district she doesn’t live in, miles and miles away from her own home district on the other side of the tunnel.   Well, f…

John, 2024 is going to be a close election — no matter what — and the choice we will face couldn’t be more stark.  Help us invest resources in our battleground seats as we build the foundation to win in 2024 so we can keep Trump out of the White House, defeat Lauren Boebert, and defend our frontline…

Real leadership for CO-03

John,  The people of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District deserve real leadership, and we know that’s the last thing they are getting with Rep. Lauren Boebert. She’s too busy getting kicked out of theaters and grabbing dinner with George Santos. Who is a leader for CD3? State Representative Elizabe…

John,  I believe deeply in our democratic institutions, that Americans are entitled to free and fair elections, and that every vote matters.   When we show up, we have the power to incite change.   In 2010, when I was first elected, Colorado was a true battleground state.
