Team, I’m running between meetings but wanted to send you a quick email so you hear this from me right away:

Earlier this year, Senate Democrats and I passed the expanded Child Tax Credit which will cut child poverty nearly in half this year alone. This morning, we passed a monumental infrastructure package, including my legislation to make the largest investment in broadband in American history.

As we were passing this historic infrastructure package, a new right-wing opponent entered the race to defeat us, folks. I’m heading into my next meeting shortly about making the expanded Child Tax Credit permanent so we can finally end child poverty for good, but that means I don’t have much time to fundraise right now. Will you chip in whatever you can to help me fend off this new right-wing opponent?

Did you see the news, team?

Michael just helped pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the Senate — this will create good-paying jobs, invest in building climate resilience, expand broadband and more for families in Colorado and nationwide. Take a moment to read how Michael’s advocacy will transform our state then donate $3 to re-elect him to the Senate so he can keep fighting for folks like you.

Michael led the charge on transformational provisions including a $65 billion investment in broadband nationwide — the largest federal broadband investment in our nation’s history. This investment will help make sure Americans' needs are met whether they live in a rural town, in Tribal communities, or in a city like Denver.

Here’s some of what Michael achieved for Colorado:

$300 million to help communities in Colorado recover from wildfires
$225 million to help rehab areas damaged by fires, and incentives for business to better participate in carbon capture to protect our environment
$4.7 billion to plug, remediate and reclaim orphaned wells on federal, state, and tribal lands, which is another way to fight climate change
$3.5 billion for the Indian Health Service to expand Tribal access to clean water
Assistance to help states secure the energy grid
$300 million to implement the Colorado Drought Contingency Plan

These investments are key to protecting our forests, water infrastructure, and energy grid against the devastating effects of climate change, so many of which we’re already feeling here in Colorado. Michael and Senate Democrats are fighting to combat climate change and build an economy that works for all Americans. Loyal supporters like you make that possible by donating to keep him in the Senate, so we have to ask:

If you're able, will you donate $3 or more so Michael can keep fighting for Colorado's future in the Senate?
