I didn't mince words with CNN's Kaitlan Collins (re: Gov. Polis' mistake)

Michael on CNN's The Source with Kaitlan Collins [link removed] Folks – if you missed my discussion with Kaitlan Collins on CNN this week, I made a few things crystal clear:  1) Tina Peters is a stone-cold election denier who was rightfully convicted on seven state crimes by a jury of her peers a…

hear me out.

Michael here, folks. Would you take a minute to hear me out? This month, my team and I face one of our most important fundraising deadlines yet. Our second public filing deadline of the month is on May 27, where we're required by law to report how much our campaign has raised. Since I'm the front-…

Let's get to work, friend 👷🏼‍♂️

Hey, friend! Michael Bennet here with an update from the road. While I am campaigning for a new job here in Colorado, it's not in construction. I had to put on this hard hat for a recent campaign stop at a work site in Alamosa the other week. I stopped by to chat with these workers about why I…

I need to level with you, friend.

I need to level with you, friend: At our current fundraising pace, we're on track to miss the $50,000 goal we need to hit before our next public filing deadline.  If that's all you need to hear, can you chip in $5 or more now to get us back on track over the next nine days' time? [link removed…

Not asking for your money – just your endorsement.

Can I be honest, friend? One of my least favorite parts about running for office is asking folks like you for your hard-earned money. I'm sure you dislike getting those emails just as much. Well, we're both in luck, because I'm not reaching out for donations – I just need your personal endorse…

The GOP is trying to ban vote-by-mail (Your response needed)

Quick, friend – for statistical significance, Michael Bennet needs to hear from 4,999 grassroots supporters + YOU by 11:59 p.m. tonight: [link removed] Do you support vote-by-mail? [link removed] Trump and Republicans are ramping up their scheme to rig the midterm elections. via Color…

We're officially on the air in Colorado

Friend, I'm reaching out to say thank you. Our campaign's first ad – "Drive" – is now live on TV screens statewide. And it's all thanks to the people powering this grassroots movement, like you.  "As governor, I won't just fight Trump. I'll make sure we're one step ahead." [link removed] But now…

My decision -

Hey there, it’s Mark Kelly. Seven years ago, I was making a decision about whether I was going to run for the Senate. I knew it would be a lot of work. A lot of time away from home. A lot of time away from family. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. But after two years of Donald Trump and a Republi…

Tina Peters

Friend, I was furious when I read this: Tina Peters knowingly broke the law, undermined our elections, and was rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers. I vehemently disagree with Gov. Polis’s decision to commute her sentence. Lawlessness only breeds more lawlessness. With Trump continui…

You probably get a lot of these fundraising emails and your time is important, so I'll cut to the chase: I just made a risky bet to approve new digital ads. We haven't budgeted to run these ads since we haven't hit our $60,000 mid-May fundraising tar…
