The situation

  Our critical end-of-month deadline expires in 24 hours. Here’s where things stand: The situation: John’s opponent is the most vulnerable GOP Senator up for re-election, which makes this race the BEST chance Democrats have to flip a Republican-held seat and take back the Senate this …

A tough decision

  Hello, I just made a tough call to help us flip this Senate seat from red to blue. Republican groups plan to outspend our campaign 2:1 on the airwaves in the coming months — and they’re doing it knowing that our fundraising has slowed down a bit since the start of this pandemic. So,…

this deadline matters

  Here’s the deal, folks: We have just 48 hours left until our crucial end-of-month deadline expires — and how much we raise and from how many individual donors matters.  You see, Cory Gardner already has a serious cash-on-hand advantage, and now groups like Mitch McConnell’s super PA…

  Sorry for bugging you, but I need to explain something that can’t wait. Our end-of-month fundraising push is moving slower than expected, and now we’re falling short on our goal of 20,000 online contributions. Now look, I’ll be straight with you — missing our end-of-month goal this …

  Hello, The deadline for our 20,000 online donations goal is expiring in a few days — so I wanted to reach out personally and keep it short: Corporate special interests and right-wing megadonors are bankrolling attacks against me and are projected to outspend us by a margin of 2:1 on…

FWD: An explanation

  Team: It's really important you read John's message from yesterday. The truth is, if we don't win here in Colorado, Democrats have virtually no chance of taking back the Senate this November. The GOP is planning to outspend us 2:1 on the airwaves and our opponent's campaign has a ma…
