I know my team has sent more emails than usual lately, folks. I hope you’ll give me a few minutes to explain why your split donation today would be so impactful for my re-election campaign and Maggie Hassan.

My new multi-millionaire challenger has already flooded New Mexico’s U.S. Senate race with half a million of her personal fortune. That’s only the beginning.

She has a long career as a hedge fund executive and is the daughter of the last Republican elected to the U.S. Senate in New Mexico.

My parents weren’t politicians – my dad was a union lineman with the local utility company, and my mom was a seamstress and an automobile tire factory worker.

I was a mechanical engineer before I went into politics, not the former CFO of the largest hedge fund in the world.

I’m not in this fight to prop up Wall Street. I’m running for re-election to continue delivering meaningful change for New Mexico, like protecting reproductive rights, passing more common-sense gun safety legislation, and taking action on climate change.

But my Republican challenger already has the support of Mitch McConnell’s allies, who are dead-set on flipping New Mexico, taking back the Senate, and enacting an extreme agenda.

Will you help my team prepare to face off against a Republican opponent who has already started self-funding her campaign to defeat me? Please split $3 or any amount to my re-election campaign and Maggie Hassan today to help put us on a path to victory:

Thank you for believing in a future for New Mexico that is as boundless as our skies, as majestic as our mesas, and as welcoming as our communities.

– Martin
