Friend,

In a moment, I’m going to ask you to contribute to my campaign. But first, I’d like to take a minute to explain why your support is so crucial in this race.

From day one, we knew it would be a tough fight to keep this seat. I only won my last race in New Hampshire by 1,017 votes – a fraction of a percent – and Republicans are already spending big to defeat me. Democrats have a razor-thin 50-50 majority in the Senate, and you can bet that Mitch McConnell is doing whatever it takes to get the GOP back in power.

I say this because it’s true: Every single deadline is an important test of our campaign’s momentum. My team tells me we need to raise $25,000 from emails like this one by midnight Friday in order to push back against the GOP’s misleading attacks. Friend, I’m really counting on your help today:

Please chip in $5 or more to keep New Hampshire blue, protect our Senate majority and defend our progress.

I got into public service to take on tough fights and get results for the people of New Hampshire. I was proud to cast crucial votes in the Senate to save the Affordable Care Act and pass the American Rescue Plan. But now, I’m the Republicans’ number one target.

In a race as close as ours in a state as purple as New Hampshire, every dollar makes a tremendous difference — and it could be the deciding factor between holding on to this vulnerable seat or losing it to Republicans. That’s why I’m humbly asking you today to support my campaign by chipping in $5 or more right now.

I hope you know how truly grateful I am to have you on my team. Thank you for being with me in this fight.

With every good wish,

Maggie Hassan
