Hi John, 

Winning this seat by just 1,017 votes in 2016 taught me that winning a tough fight – like the one we are facing this time around – requires showing strength at every turn. And today I’m asking for your help to do just that.

Your gift of just $3 would help put us in the best position possible to win one of the most critical races in the country. And because this campaign relies on grassroots donors like you, that is true every day. But chipping in today is especially important because tomorrow is a major benchmark for our campaign.

Tomorrow is the final FEC deadline before the primary – which means that it is the last time that we report our full fundraising numbers before we find out which Republican extremist we’ll face in the general election.

Pundits and political operatives use these reports to speculate about the strength of a campaign, and there has never been a more important time to demonstrate that we are ready. 

Because New Hampshire is such a purple state – and because I won my last race by the slimmest margin of any sitting Senator – Republicans are already targeting this seat, spending over $25 million trying to flip it. If we underperform now, the target on our backs will only grow. 

But if we get a surge of grassroots support – the kind that would come if every person reading this email rushed $3 right now – this FEC deadline actually could be a huge opportunity for this campaign to show its strength.

And in a race this tight, we just can’t afford to let an opportunity like this one pass us by. That’s why I hope I can count on you, John. 

With every good wish, 
Maggie Hassan
