Families are being poisoned in Eastern Colorado

{NAME}, Imagine paying $200 a month for water that's poisoning your family. This is the reality for our friends and neighbors in Morgan County where the water is contaminated with uranium and radioactive lead. This is a public health emergency. But the community has been ignored by people in power for years. [A graphic featuring a headline from CBS News that reads: “Homeowners in Colorado’s Morgan County pay upwards of $200 a month for water they can’t even drink.” Included is a photo of a man pouring out a jug of dark brown water contaminated with uranium.]( Despite countless violations and warnings, authorities have repeatedly failed to enforce regulations or protect our families. The local water district operated without proper approval or regulatory oversight, leading to this crisis. Residents have been begging for help since 2007 and NO ONE has helped them. This is the situation Morgan County families have been dealing with for 17 years: - Toxic Water: Residents are forced to use water filled with radioactive contaminants, putting their health and safety at risk. - Failing Infrastructure: The local water district has left the infrastructure in disrepair, leaving families without access to clean water. - No Accountability: Despite nearly 200 violations and warnings, authorities have failed to enforce regulations or protect residents. I know what it means to fight for what's right, and I’m disgusted that no one has stepped up to help these families. That changes when I’m elected. I’m the only candidate in this race polling ahead of Lauren Boebert, and we’re leading by 14 points. Our campaign is hands down Democrats’ best chance to flip this seat and get these families the help they need. Will you donate today to make sure Boebert has to face me in November?

[But I can't win this battle alone. To bring more attention to this critical issue and fund our campaign to victory, we urgently need to raise $3,000 this week. Can I count on your support to help us reach this crucial goal?]( Join me in this fight for clean water.
