HICKENLOOPER FOR COLORADO

ad creative

Donate Now

John took a different path to public office. After being laid off as a geologist, he opened the first brewpub in Colorado. As a small-business owner, John was active in the local community and ran for office because he believed he could bring a different perspective and get things done. At a time when Washington is rife with division, John is the problem-solver we need in the Senate.

Ad copy

Donald Trump tried to sell off Colorado's public lands. He attacked our freedoms. And now national Republicans are lining up to flip this seat red. Our first FEC deadline of the election year hits March 31, and a strong report scares them off. Three bucks, five bucks — whatever you can do.
