John –

I need you to know that I don’t take asking for money lightly. However, I do have to ask you for money in this email. Here’s why:

We are coming up on our first quarterly deadline of the year, and my campaign is required to publicly report how much money we raise.

CNN, MSNBC, and election experts will use the number we raise to gauge our campaign’s strength. With Republicans in the House majority, my campaign still paying down the debt we accrued to win in 2022, and forecasts predicting a tough cycle for Democrats, it’s absolutely crucial that we knock this out of the park.

Here’s the problem: my team just pulled our fundraising pacing report and we’re still very short of our goal. That’s why I need to ask you for $3 today to help close the gap. Can I count on your help?

I’m so grateful for anything you can do to help before we close the books on the first quarter.

With every good wish,

Maggie Hassan
