John,

I’m no stranger to tough campaigns. I’ve lost races before, and in my last campaign for Senate, I won by just 1,017 votes!

But through all these races, one thing has remained the same: I really hate asking for money. But because polls show me down and because of the tough environment, hitting every single fundraising goal in this campaign is extremely important.

I hate to ask, but there is too much on the line not to: Will you please rush $200 to help us win here in New Hampshire?

And if you can’t swing $200, I totally understand. Do you think you can chip in $26.44 — our average email donation last quarter — instead? I'd really appreciate it, especially with our end-of-month deadline just hours away.

You know the stakes. With a 50-50 Senate majority, we CANNOT afford to lose this seat.

I’ll ask one more time. Please donate whatever you can (it doesn’t have to be $200 – the donation itself matters more than the amount) to help us win reelection here in New Hampshire.

With every good wish,

Maggie Hassan
