Two more days… Let’s finish strong
In two more days we will finish a 547 day journey that started because I (like many others) felt completely betrayed by government. Being an entrepreneur means taking risks and making decisions based on incentives and profitability, and I had the final straw of having myself, and my clients, be so negatively affected by a government that claims to protect its citizens. And I have decided to push back, because that is my duty as a Coloradan.
YOU, and people like you all over the country, have made this journey possible. We have out-raised any independent/unaffiliated/third-party candidate in the history of our district, we earned both national and local media, we have created a network of thousands of people who believe in our message and cause, and we are just getting started.
We have two more days to make the final impact with our campaign – would you be willing to contribute to help us do that? $25, $50, $100, even $250 makes it possible for us to finish strong.
Here is a list of what you have made possible – thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Tisha
