John –

My reelection campaign is up and running, and I need your help to make sure this seat is not in play for Republicans in 2024. Our Senate majority is incredibly slim, and the truth is the map is even tougher for us than it was last year.

The experts at Cook Political say Democrats are “almost entirely on defense” because there really aren’t any seats we can flip blue. That means holding every single seat is going to be that much more important.

So I’m not willing to take anything for granted. There’s a real danger if any of our opponents think we’re asleep at the wheel and vulnerable to negative ads.

Last time I was up for reelection, Republicans pumped millions of dollars into Connecticut to try to make gains in our state. We saw the same thing last cycle when Republicans dumped huge amounts of money trying to pick up Senate seats in reliably blue states like Washington and Colorado.

And frankly, the reason we didn’t hold the House last year is because Republicans made significant inroads in New York.

That’s why it’s so important that we demonstrate we are ready for anything that comes our way – whether from Mitch McConnell’s super PACs, the gun lobby or another self-funding billionaire that wants to try to buy this seat. So I am asking you to please have my back today:

Will you split a $3 contribution between my reelection and Maggie Hassan to hold this seat and defend Democrats’ Senate majority in 2024? There’s an official FEC deadline coming up tomorrow, so every single donation helps us demonstrate the depth of support for our campaign.

I’m grateful to have you on this team. Please know that your support not only means the world to me but is truly important to our success. Thank you.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy
