Friends –

Right-wing billionaire and Donald Trump's former Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, just attacked me on Twitter in an attempt to rally the GOP's far-right base.

Before I go any further, can you chip in $5 to protect New Hampshire’s vulnerable Senate seat? [[link removed]]

This isn't the first time Trump Republicans like Betsy DeVos have attacked me, and it won't be the last. In July, Mike Pence declared New Hampshire as the state where the Republican comeback begins. And most recently, Ms. DeVos paid a visit to New Hampshire as part of the GOP's plan to unseat me and flip the Senate red.

During Betsy DeVos' confirmation hearing for Secretary of Education back in 2017, she demonstrated a complete lack of understanding and support for the public education system – and it was clear that she was unqualified to serve as secretary of education. At her confirmation hearing, I specifically questioned Ms. DeVos on whether she would enforce the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did she refuse to say she would, but she also demonstrated that she was unaware that this landmark civil rights law was a federal law.

Unfortunately, she didn’t improve upon that disastrous confirmation hearing during her tenure in the Trump administration -- pursuing policies that undermined public schools in New Hampshire and across the country. From proposed funding cuts to her efforts to implement a voucher system, DeVos ignored the needs of both educators and students in an attempt to dismantle our public education system.

I’m writing today because it has been my honor to represent New Hampshire in the U.S. Senate, and I’m not done fighting for Granite Staters. I only won my last election by 1,017 votes, and it could be even closer in 2022. The GOP's constant attacks, similar to the one DeVos launched against me yesterday, are a clear attempt to unseat me – and if we lose in New Hampshire, Democrats have close to no chance of holding our narrow majority.

Having Donald Trump and his allies fully invested in this race is bad news. I hate asking for money, but my campaign is having a slow fundraising month, and we need the funds to fight back against Republican attacks. Will you please rush $5 or whatever you can afford right now to help us win in New Hampshire and protect our vulnerable Senate majority? [[link removed]]

I'm fighting to give New Hampshire families a brighter future by strengthening public education, protecting reproductive health care, addressing climate change, and more. But there's still much work ahead – and if Republicans regain control of the Senate, they will undo all of the progress we've made so far.

So please, consider making a $5 donation today. [[link removed]]

Thank you so much.

With every good wish,
Maggie Hassan
