Hello,
|
I lost the very first election I ran in. It was 2002, and I lost my New Hampshire State Senate race.
|
I didn’t let that loss deter me – just like I don’t let Republican attacks deter me now.
|
Let me be clear, because there is so much at stake: We cannot lose this seat. Not this time. Not with Roe v. Wade hanging on by a thread.
|
But earlier this week, Rachel Maddow said I have a difficult reelection fight ahead of me, and a recent poll shows me down by two points to an extreme anti-choice opponent.
|
I ran for office to make a difference for as many people who needed my help as I could and to ensure that every American has the opportunity to succeed, no matter who they are.
|
My 2002 and 2004 elections are well in the rearview mirror. Today, the stakes are so much higher. And alarmingly, a recent poll shows me down by two points.
|
If we lose this seat, Democrats forfeit our Senate majority to Mitch McConnell who, just a couple of days ago, suggested that if he’s in charge, we could be heading for a national abortion ban.
|
I’m emailing today, everyone, because I need your help.
|
Will you please rush a grassroots donation – $3 or any amount you can – before our mid-month deadline to keep New Hampshire’s Senate seat in Democratic control?
|
Winning and preserving our most basic fundamental rights truly takes all of us coming together, and I’m counting on you. Thank you for getting involved.
|
With every good wish,
Maggie Hassan
