Friends, the fight for the future of the Supreme Court is a personal one for me. When I voted against confirming Justice Brett Kavanaugh, I knew it could mean losing my seat in the Senate. But I’d do it again in a heartbeat – because we just can’t afford to put another far-right extremist on the bench.

So believe me when I say this: The most important race happening in 2020 is the race for Senate control – because whoever controls the Senate will decide the future of the Supreme Court.

More than a year later, I’m still doing everything I can to protect the Supreme Court and take back the Senate for Democrats – and right now, that means supporting Jeanne Shaheen.

The GOP knows that if it defeats her, Democrats will lose our chance to control the Senate and protect the future of the Supreme Court. Republicans are pouring money into New Hampshire to buy this seat, so she needs to raise $7,500 by midnight tonight to fight back – but she’s about to fall short. Please, will you join me in this fight and give $3 or more right now to help Jeanne Shaheen defend New Hampshire’s Democratic seat, take back the Senate and protect the future of the Supreme Court?

I know Jeanne will fight tooth and nail to protect the future of the Supreme Court – just like I did.

But I also know New Hampshire’s Senate races can be just as tight as the ones here in North Dakota: The last one was decided by just 1,017 votes.

I’ve run and lost tough races before. And I’m telling you now: Jeanne needs our help.

Senate control is riding on this race – so if you care about the future of the Supreme Court, you can’t afford to sit this one out. Rush $3 right now – every dollar you can spare – to defend New Hampshire’s critical Democratic Senate seat, take back the Senate and protect the future of the Supreme Court!

Thank you for standing with me in 2018 – and for keeping up this fight today.
