Would you do it?

  Folks, I have a question: If all it took to preserve and expand our Democratic majorities, transition our country to clean energy, and lower costs for families was a contribution worth as much as a cup of coffee — would you do it? I’m sure you see where I’m going here, but it’s real…

The Postal Service Reform Act

  Folks — Millions of Americans depend on the U.S. Postal Service to receive everything from paychecks to prescription medications to even mail-in ballots. But recently, delivery times have been unacceptably slow — especially in rural areas. That’s why I was so thrilled when the Senat…

our race just moved closer to a toss-up

  Hi folks — FIRST: A poll showed me losing by 1% against a Republican opponent. THEN: National Journal called my seat one of the most likely to flip this year. NOW: The Cook Political Report has downgraded my race from “Solid Democrat” to “Likely Democrat.” Tough races like this one …

Fifteen minutes

  Friends — I have 15 minutes of free time in my schedule today. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but with a job like mine a lot can happen in 15 minutes. With this time, I want to tell you about what’s at stake this year, and ask you to split a donation between me, Catherine Cort…

$11.7 million

  Hi folks — Normally, I like to give a quick pitch for our mid-month fundraising drives. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all really important — especially with our razor-thin Senate majority. But this time, I’ve got 11.7 million reasons why this one is especially important. Why 11.7 mill…

Some good news for Coloradans

  Hey team — I’m not sure if you heard, but we had a busy few days in the Senate last week. First, John voted with his colleagues to pass the bipartisan Postal Service Reform Act, which will modernize the USPS to improve mail service for all Americans. This will make a huge difference…

I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy

  Folks — Sometimes it’s easy to feel worried about where we’re headed. We’ve got so much important work ahead of us, from confirming a new Supreme Court justice, to continuing the push for legislation on important issues like health care, climate change, and education. We’ve also got…

gearing up for a fight

  Friend — Our chances of defending the Senate just dropped dramatically. National Journal just named me the most vulnerable senator on the ballot, which means Mitch McConnell will be zeroing in on Nevada as the one seat he needs to flip the Senate. If we lose Nevada, we lose the Sena…

The best part of my job is you

  Hey folks — I often sit down with my staff to talk through our priorities, check in on our goals, and set our agenda. It’s an honor to serve on a team that cares deeply about improving the lives of Coloradans, and our best work comes when we’re able to collaborate. Hearing from folk…

3 things...

Here’s how we defend the Senate

  Folks — The key to defending and expanding our slim Democratic majority in the Senate is you. Thanks to this grassroots team, we flipped Colorado’s Senate seat in 2020 and secured a Democratic majority in Washington. Now, we have to work twice as hard to keep it. With the Senate spl…

re: Citizens United

  Folks — There’s simply too much dark money in our politics. How’d that happen? Well, twelve years ago, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Citizens United, opening the floodgates for unchecked dark money to directly influence our elections and our government. It was — and …

Humbly asking

$3

  Folks — The Cook Political Report shows three Democratic Senate races in toss-up territory: Rev. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Mark Kelly of Arizona and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada. With the Senate split 50-50, the GOP only needs to flip one seat to reclaim the majority. And Mitc…

A new poll shows Michael Bennet one point down

It’s time to go one step further

$122 million

  From hosting high-dollar Mar-A-Lago fundraisers to organizing MAGA rallies across the country, it’s clear Donald Trump is putting his thumb on the scale in this year’s midterm elections. And since he left the White House, his fundraising hasn’t slowed down a bit — Trump is still rak…

We have good news and bad news

  Hi there, our first end-of-month fundraising deadline of 2022 expires in just a few hours and the bad news is, we’re pretty far behind on our target. To be honest, a fundraising slump isn’t a huge surprise. Between fighting to pass critical legislation in Washington and meeting with…

Underestimated...

  When I became a Senator, I was underestimated. The GOP called me the “accidental Senator” and doubted my ability to deliver for Coloradans and get re-elected. So, I got to work proving them wrong. Last year, I secured tax cuts for working families; helped keep nearly 4 million kids …

Can I quickly explain?

  Hi there, can I quickly explain something? It’s no secret that our Senate majority isn’t as strong as we’d like it to be. Right now, the chamber is split 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaker. That means Mitch McConnell only has to flip one seat this Nov…

BREAKING: A far-right Trump Republican just announced his campaign against me
