Today’s Action: Flip the Colorado Senate

Until 2014, Colorado had been a Democratic stronghold. That year, Republicans took the Senate by a razorsharp margin of just one seat and have held it since, despite the state voting blue in the 2016 presidential elections.

With midterms upon us, Colorado Democrats are calling for nationwide support in taking back their Senate. Flipping just two Senate seats blue would give progressives full control of the General Assembly.

Faith Winter is a Democrat running for one of those Senate seats currently held by the GOP, and she has a good shot at winning as a popular Representative. Before running for office herself, Winter dedicated decades to Emerge Colorado, an organization she founded helping women seek and win elected offices. And you may have heard her name before, as a woman who led the #MeToo movement when she outed her sexual harasser, a fellow Representative with multiple victims who flipped Republican when the truth came out.

Flippable is hosting a texting event to support Faith Winter’s campaign, and you can join from the comfort of your own home (without ever speaking to anyone)! Sign up to send texts to registered Democrats in Colorado to support Winter, and help flip Colorado’s Senate blue!

Why should you care about another state’s Senate (you may be asking yourself)? Because:

• Republicans have made no secret of their strategy to stay in power in Congress through state-level gerrymandering and voter restrictions…which could become Colorado’s reality unless we work now to keep the state blue.
• The GOP passes abortion-restriction laws at a state level in the hopes that the law will be challenged all the way to the Supreme Court. It’s their proven method of picking away at abortion rights on a national level.
• Loose gun laws at a state level allow more firearm sales…which can easily cross state borders in cars.

All this and more…which can be stopped in Colorado this November by just a few text messages from each of us starting today.
