Friend, fighting in the Senate for working families in Colorado and nationwide has been the greatest honor of my life. 

When you elected me to my first full term in 2010 – the toughest race I've ever run – I was so proud that in just a year, I earned your trust to continue fighting for you and your loved ones in Washington. And ever since that moment, my No. 1 priority has been keeping it.

But since I first landed in Washington, I've seen a lot of politicians around me lose their connection to the folks who trusted them to serve their states.

So if I'm going to earn your trust to keep serving you as Colorado's next governor, I can never let that happen.

That's why, before 11:59 p.m., I'm personally counting on your help to win – not by chipping in a donation, but by taking 60 seconds to fill out my team's brand-new Grassroots Campaign Strategy Survey today.

While I wish I could sit down with each one of you and hear directly about what matters most to you, this is the next best thing. Your feedback will help me continue to fight for you in the most effective way possible: both as your next governor and in our nation’s capital.

So I need to have your hopes, dreams, kitchen-table issues, and the concerns that keep you up at night top of mind. Because, above all, Coloradans deserve a leader who listens to them and acts on the issues that actually affect their lives.

I'm all ears now, friend – so please, will you add your voice to the conversation by taking the survey before it closes at 11:59 p.m.?

Thanks in advance for chiming in,

Michael
