On Friday, Senator Shaheen reached out because Donald Trump personally recruited his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, to run for her New Hampshire Senate seat.
Everyone from FiveThirtyEight to CBS is saying that her race will decide Senate control, and her team had a rare match opportunity in effect. This meant that every dollar given would go twice as far toward winning in New Hampshire and taking back a Democratic Senate.
Unfortunately, we fell short of what we told Jeanne we’d help her raise. We’re desperately trying to make up ground and could really use your help. Will you please give $3 or as much as you can to help protect New Hampshire’s other Democratic Senate seat from Donald Trump and Corey Lewandowski?
Thank you,
Maggie Hassan’s campaign staff

I don’t know where else to turn right now, everyone, so Maggie said that I could reach out.
Just over a week ago, Donald Trump personally recruited his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to run for this seat at his campaign rally in New Hampshire, and now we have until midnight tonight to raise the $50,000 we need to fight back. But we’re still way short, and our match is about to expire.
Everyone from FiveThirtyEight to CBS is saying that our race in New Hampshire will decide Senate control. But The Washington Post just named this seat one of the most likely to flip — so if we want to take back the Senate, we have to take full advantage of this match opportunity right now.
Mitch McConnell’s right-wing group has already launched their first round of attack ads against us — and as of today, GOP outside groups are spending more against us than all the other in-cycle Democratic senators combined. They know that Democrats cannot take back the Senate if we lose here — but missing this rapid-response goal would mean losing in New Hampshire.
With Republicans going all in on this race and just one day left until our match expires, every dollar could be the difference between a Republican and a Democratic Senate:
Thanks so much,
Jeanne
