The GOP’s plan is working

  Hello — at the end of this email, I will ask you to contribute toward our campaign for Senate during a critical moment in this race. But first, I’d like to explain why your donation really matters — especially today. First and foremost, Democrats cannot end Mitch McConnell’s Senate …

Ivanka Trump is here to stump for Cory Gardner

  Folks: this is not a drill. The Trump campaign sent a major surrogate to Colorado to stump for Cory Gardner — Ivanka Trump. Rush a $10 donation before Ivanka leaves Colorado. We have to stop the GOP’s plans to shore up their right-wing base. If you've saved your payment information …

I’m floored

  Folks, the GOP is trying to sabotage our health care system in the middle of a global pandemic. I’m honestly floored. It’s pretty clear by now that instead of helping the people they were elected to represent, Washington Republicans only serve the highest bidder. And my opponent, Co…

Yet another false, nasty ad

  Hello — The NRSC has launched yet another nasty, negative ad falsely attacking my record. This ad is a blatant lie and should be taken down immediately. But this is just another page straight out of the GOP’s playbook. Mitch McConnell’s corporate donor network is outspending us near…

so...

  Let’s break this down — FIRST: Political experts said John Hickenlooper was the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat blue. Republicans panicked as incumbent Cory Gardner’s approval ratings tanked. THEN: Right-wing groups swooped in with $9 million in advertising to distort J…

Only $5?

  Friends, this is an email asking if you can contribute $5 toward our upcoming end-of-month goal. Why $5? Right now, there are five Senate seats rated as a “toss-up” — a fancy way of saying they’re the seats most likely to flip blue. We’re one of them. That means if we don’t win (and…

Please understand

  Friends — We’re in the last full quarter before this election is over. So, in just a few moments, I will ask you to make a contribution of any amount to my campaign. Before I do, it’s important to me that you know I don’t take a single one of your hard-earned dollars for granted. Do…

Not exaggerating

  John Hickenlooper is in the fight of his life right now. Right-wing groups with an endless supply of cash are flooding the airwaves with insidious attacks and shrinking our lead in the final months before Election Day. Can you rush an urgent contribution now to help us raise $125,00…

bump

  Folks: This is an all-hands-on-deck situation. Outside groups aligned with Mitch McConnell have spent $9 million to attack me and tear down this campaign. I don’t want to say it’s working, but the truth is, our lead has shrunk. I’m counting on folks like you to meet this moment and …

We wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true

  Folks — Here’s the truth: when it comes to flipping a critical seat for the Democrats and taking back control of the Senate this November — all eyes are on us. That might seem like a lot of pressure, but because of dedicated supporters like you who have opened our emails and donated…

Our lead has shrunk

  Hello, Cory Gardner is the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for re-election, and our race is the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat and end Mitch McConnell’s majority for good. Washington Republicans know that, too. Outside groups have been hammering us with $9 millio…

July 17, 2020 at 8:06 PM

Really need your help here

  Here’s what you need to know — Our opponent just reported more than twice as much cash-on-hand than our campaign. That money can buy A LOT — we’re talking a huge field operation, persuasive mailers, and a bunch of ad time to attack John Hickenlooper and sink our campaign. So, we’ve …

Great news and not-so-great news

  I needed to make sure you saw this — Thanks to folks like you, we outraised our right-wing opponent again last quarter. It’s clear we’re in a strong position to give Coloradans the new leadership they deserve. But here’s the bad news: Cory Gardner has over $10 million cash-on-hand. …

July 16, 2020 at 8:07 PM

Oh no

  FIRST: We hit our grassroots fundraising goal yesterday! THEN: News broke that our Republican opponent has more than double our cash-on-hand. Keep in mind, this is ON TOP of the $9 million Republicans are already spending to attack us! NOW: We are scrambling to do everything we can …

I have some bad news to share

  Hello — This isn’t the news I wanted to share, but our opponent just reported a “massive advantage” in cash-on-hand — more than twice as much as our team reported this month! So I’m emailing you right now with an urgent last minute request to help us close this financial gap. Unlike…

Hoo boy

  We’re so close to reaching our mid-month goal tonight. We only need a few more donations to put us over the edge, so I’m asking you one final time to make a donation today, folks. I’m refusing to accept donations from corporate PACs, so the only way we’ll be able to fight off the GO…

Tonight @ midnight

  Folks, Tonight at midnight we close the books on our mid-month fundraising deadline — our first deadline as the official Democratic nominee. When it’s over, we’ll crunch the numbers to see if we’ve reached our $75,000 goal. We’ll also take a look at just how many people have pitched…

Truth be told

Three things you need to know

  Here are three things you need to know before our mid-month deadline on Wednesday: John Hickenlooper is the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate seat red to blue. His opponent’s approval rating is even less than Trump’s (yikes!). Mitch McConnell knows his majority is in jeopard…

I’m ready

  Hello — I need you to make a contribution to our campaign before our mid-July fundraising deadline on Wednesday but first, I want to talk to you a little bit about why I got into public service in the first place. I didn’t take the usual path. After I was laid off as a geologist, I …

Republicans are getting more and more desperate

  Folks, do you have a minute? A poll came out a few days ago showing John Hickenlooper beating Cory Gardner in what would be a huge win for Democrats as we work to take back our government in this election. Since then, Republicans have only ramped up their attacks. More misleading TV…

Democrats have no chance without Colorado

  I’m emailing for $5. Trust me, I have a good reason for doing so: Right now, there are five Senate races rated as “toss-up” by the highly respected Cook Political Report — and the most likely of those races to flip is our race against Cory Gardner in Colorado. Democrats simply do no…

Mitch McConnell’s network of billionaires

Quick numbers

Ugh

  Ugh — We messed up, folks. My finance team just took a look at our projections, and we miscalculated how much farther we have to go to reach our mid-month goal. Look, we’re all human. But missing this goal puts our campaign at risk — especially with the GOP outspending us nearly 3:1…

July 8, 2020 at 9:14 PM

the next couple of hours are really important for us

Interesting fact

  Hello — Here’s something you might not know: The vast majority of our donations come from folks responding to messages like this one, instead of corporate special interests. Oftentimes folks give what they can spare, like $10 or $25. However, in the last few days our average contrib…

The GOP’s playbook
