John – before I tell you about my critical race for reelection, I want to take you back to when I first ran for the U.S. Senate. 

Heading into the 2016 election, Democrats knew that the landscape would be a difficult one to win in. But my team came out of the gate strong, raised grassroots dollars, knocked on thousands of doors, and in an otherwise sobering, awful election, we were able to buck national trends and flip this seat.

Now, Democrats are facing what is perhaps an even more difficult environment. So to keep this seat that the Democratic Senate majority hinges on, we’ll need to defy the odds again. But we won’t do that with luck. Instead, we’ll do it by hard work, detailed planning, and (as is the reality of political campaigns) strong fundraising.

So if you can contribute $3 to help us hold this seat, and with it our Senate majority, please do. If Democrats lose here, it will pave Mitch McConnell’s path back to the majority Leader’s office.

I’ll level with you: Winning in a state as purple as New Hampshire isn’t easy even under the most favorable conditions. And these are certainly not the most favorable conditions. Whether it's the difficult political environment or the over $25 million the GOP is spending on smearing me, there has never been a more important time to have the resources to fight back.

And that takes people just like you, John, chipping in $3 or whatever they can to help us fund the kind of campaign that can overcome the toughest odds.

I have never been one to back down from a challenge, and winning this race is certainly going to be one, but I am confident that with the support of people like you, we can win.

With every good wish,
Maggie Hassan
