Friends: In a moment, I'm going to ask you to help us hit our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline by making your first contribution to our campaign. But first, I want you to know what's at stake if we fall short.

Right now, Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight is saying that Senate control hinges on winning New Hampshire's Senate seat. But all of the experts – from analysts at The Washington Post to CNBC – are calling me one of the most vulnerable Democratic senators in the country. So the GOP sees this as a great opening to buy a Senate seat and protect their majority.

If we lose this seat, the GOP secures their stranglehold on the Senate for another two years. And two more years of a GOP majority means Republicans will be able to confirm more ultraconservative justices to the Supreme Court, rip away health care from millions and continue to block commonsense gun safety legislation.

So team, we cannot afford to fall short of this end-of-quarter goal. If we miss this goal, we could lose this race – and losing in New Hampshire would completely end Democrats' chances of taking back the Senate. That's why – with time running out before the most critical deadline of our campaign so far – I'm counting on your support to help us reach our $50,000 goal: 

Rush $3 or even more – anything you can spare before our end-of-quarter deadline – to help defend New Hampshire's Senate seat and take back the Senate for Democrats.

Thanks so much for standing with us ahead of this critical goal.
