John –

If you've seen my name in your inbox and are wondering why I'm writing you an email instead of my next novel, here's why:

As a proud Granite Stater and Democrat, I'm committed to using my platform to protect the Democratic Senate majority. And that starts with reelecting my friend Maggie Hassan.

I've known Maggie for a long time now, so I know, without a doubt, that we can't afford to lose her voice in the Senate, especially now that Roe v. Wade is overturned. 

Maggie is a fierce advocate for women and families, but Republicans are doing whatever it takes to replace her with an anti-choice extremist. Extreme GOP groups are currently spending over $25 million attacking her, and that number is only going to go up.

If Maggie loses, Mitch McConnell will take back the Senate and push a nationwide abortion ban. But it won't end there. The GOP will continue to strip women of their reproductive rights.

Is this the kind of America you want to live in? I sure as hell don't. That's why I'm channeling my rage into action by supporting Maggie Hassan. And I hope you will too. Will you please rush a donation to her campaign today?

Every dollar you're able to contribute makes a difference (especially in a tight race like this one!), and 100% of your gift will go directly to Maggie’s campaign.

Let's show Republicans that we dissent. With our support, our vote, and with everything we've got.

Thank you for taking action.
