I wanted to tell you about my grandmother –

My grandmother turned 22 years old on June 4, 1919 – the same day the U.S. Senate passed the 19th Amendment, the beginning of the fight to guarantee voting rights for all American women.

I think a lot about what it must have been like for my grandmother to grow up never expecting to have the right to vote.

My grandmother wasn't a highly political person; she just believed in including people and in making things work. But she always took her right to vote very seriously, and always made sure she exercised that right on Election Day.

She understood, as we all need to, that we can't take the right to vote for granted. We need to ensure that everyone has the right to vote and that we protect that right with everything we have.

Every day, I'm inspired by the women who came before me – my mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother – who understood the magnitude of casting their ballot and who taught us the importance of working to make our democracy more inclusive and accessible.  

As Senator, I'm fighting for our shared values each and every day: expanding access to the ballot box, protecting reproductive health care, and lowering costs for families – but I can't do it alone. 

My last election was the closest in the country, and this year could be even closer. Losing even one Senate seat means losing our Senate majority, and Republicans are doing everything they can to end our majority by targeting my seat. 

With a recent poll showing me down by two points, I need your help now more than ever. Please rush $3 or as much as you can to help me win in New Hampshire and continue the fight to protect our democracy.

Thank you for reading. 

With every good wish,
Maggie Hassan
