Hi John,

There are only 10 days left until our first fundraising deadline of the election year. My team would be upset if I didn’t ask you to chip in to help us reach our goal, but what I’d really like to do is share some photos from what we’ve been doing on the campaign trail recently.

We kicked off petition season! I'm so energized by all of the neighbors who came out to sign, grabbed a petition to circulate, and knocked on doors.

I joined an overflow room at Heritage Todd Creek to talk about protecting healthcare, lowering costs, and safeguarding our democracy.

I met with neighbors over coffee in Greeley and Berthoud to talk about the issues that matter most to them.

Not to mention how we earned endorsements from former Governor Roy Romer, the Pipefitters Union (I’m proud to be the only labor-backed candidate in this race!), and local leaders across the district.

2026 is off to an exciting start! I’m feeling the momentum on the ground, but to keep it going, we need to keep up with our fundraising totals.

The more we raise from emails like this, the less time I have to spend fundraising and the more time I can spend meeting with Coloradans. So if you’re able, I’d really appreciate it if you chip in a few dollars to help close the gap. Even $5 or $10 makes a difference.

Thanks so much!
