Can I re-introduce myself?
Hey, it’s John.
You might have already heard that I’m running for re-election this cycle. But if you’re not familiar with who I am, I’d like to reintroduce myself, tell you a little bit about my story, and at the end, I’ll ask you for your support in our race to defend Colorado and flip the Senate.
My path to the U.S. Senate wasn’t exactly traditional — I’m just a laid-off geologist turned brewer who first ran for office because the voices of everyday Coloradans weren’t being heard. But in 2020, Coloradans put their trust in me as Senator, and since then, my focus has always been the same: putting Colorado families first.
And I’m proud of what we were able to accomplish — we invested in fixing our aging infrastructure, passed the largest climate rescue bill ever, and we even lowered the cost of prescription drugs for seniors.
But just over a year into President Trump’s second term, we’ve seen countless assaults on all of the progress we’ve made — and then some.
President Trump and his administration have gutted Americans’ health care, raised costs, and even stripped away funding for clean energy projects in states that didn’t vote for him. Heck, they’ve even launched us into an illegal war of choice with Iran, with no strategy or endgame in sight.
So while I’ll never stop fighting for Colorado, it’s just as important that we recognize these unprecedented attacks on working people and our democracy and do everything we can to oppose the Trump administration’s extreme agenda that threatens to throw our whole country into total chaos.
Flipping the Senate blue is a key part of that fight. And that starts with defending must-win states like Colorado this November.
Keep up the good fight.
Giddy up,
John
