Friend,

Flipping seats blue is going to be key to taking back the Senate next year -- but defending the 45 seats already held by Democrats is going to be JUST AS IMPORTANT as we lay our plans to turn the Senate blue.

So today, I want to tell you about New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen -- and why its so important that we rally around her today.

To start, at least four Republicans have their eyes on her seat. One is the presidents former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, whose central campaign strategy was "Let Trump be Trump."

To keep her seat blue (and out of Trumps hands), Jeanne needs our help before the end-of-month fundraising deadline at midnight on August 31. Will you chip in $10 or more right now to make sure we can keep Jeanne fighting for us in the Senate -- and turn the Senate blue?

Shaheen's other opponents? One is Andy Martin, a serial litigant and self-proclaimed "king of the birthers," who for years made a hobby of suing the state of Hawaii in pursuit of Barack Obama's birth certificate. Another is Bill O'Brien, who once compared the _Affordable Care Act_ to the _Fugitive Slave Act_. Then there's also Don Bolduc, a retired military general who would fit right in with the authoritarian culture that's taking root in Washington.

Let me be clear: Shaheen is a veritable antidote to the hard-right, extreme men running against her. As the lone woman on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Shaheen is a powerful force against the dangerous sexist, racist, patriarchal culture that's seeped into our government under President Trump and soured our international relations.

While Senate Republicans bend to the will of Trump day after day -- allowing him to alienate our allies and further sink our middle class with his unpredictable, brash behavior -- Shaheen is fighting to strengthen our international alliances and create a democracy that works for all of us.

We simply cant afford to lose her seat. So, lets come together for Jeanne right now, before Saturdays end-of-month fundraising deadline.

Defending our hard-won Senate seats in 2020 is just as crucial as turning red ones blue. If youre ready to stand with Jeanne Shaheen, please chip in $10 or more to her campaign today.

Thanks for being in this fight with me.

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
