Diane Mitsch Bush

We can’t keep sending the same career politicians to Congress and expect things to improve. Send me to Congress and I’ll fight for the Western slope–not insurance or big pharmaceutical companies.I’ll protect our public lands, fix our broken healthcare system, defend Social Security and Medicare, protect women’s health and rights, and invest in job training and infrastructure.

Thank you.

John, The voters have spoken. I did not get enough votes to win. You all worked so hard. I am so honored and humbled by you giving me your hard earned money and all your time and energy. Thank you for believing in me. I am deeply grateful for our staff, our amazing volunteers and all our…

Closing up shop

John, Before we close up shop on our email fundraising program before Election Day tomorrow, we’ve got one last goal to hit. This morning we had $5,000 to raise before the end of the day today, and as of ten minutes ago, it’s down to just $2,913. If we can hit this, we’re sure we can turn o…

This is our final fundraising email

John, This is the last fundraising email you’ll see from us before Election Day… that is, if we raise the final $5,000 we need to reach our voters for 24 more hours. You know what we’re up against. You know why this is important. So we won’t waste your time. Click here to make a last-minute…

Did you see Diane’s note?

John, We wanted to make sure you saw Diane’s note earlier today. We’re in the final days of this campaign, and we still need all the help we can get to defeat far-right Boebert. Chip in whatever you can right now to help us reach voters for these last two days! DONATE » [link removed] …

What’s really spooky?

John, Halloween is known as a day for pranks, horror, and all things spooky. But we have two words that will surely send chills down your spine: Congresswoman Boebert. And this is no trick. Right now, far-right Boebert is projected to win Tuesday’s election. A conspiracy theorist, extremi…

Last ditch effort

I’m sure you’re getting tons of these emails, John, but I want to explain why this race is so crucial. First, our race is CLOSE -- one of the closest in the country according to FiveThirtyEight. And that means that your dollar can actually make a difference! Second, our opponent is one of t…

John, We’ve had these final few days before the election planned out for weeks. We know that if we hit our numbers across CO-03, we can flip this toss-up seat. But hitting our win number -- the amount of votes we know we need to flip this seat -- relies on us first hitting our fundraising numb…

Boebert’s latest quote is disgusting

John, Yesterday, Diane earned the endorsement of the Aspen Daily News. We are proud to add them to the long list of endorsers, but what was most shocking about the article were the quotes from far-right Boebert. The editorial board asked Boebert about policies and issues only to find her under…
