Your inbox is probably being flooded with fundraising emails, John. I know mine is.

But let me explain why emails like this one are critical to this campaign.

While Republicans rely on corporate special interests and dark money super PACs to fund their campaigns, we rely on grassroots donors like you, pitching in what you can when we need it most. In fact, the vast majority of contributions to this campaign come from emails like this one.

And right now, just hours before our final end-of-quarter FEC deadline, I urgently need your help.

You see, we're facing an unprecedented slowdown in our fundraising. If we don't have the resources to fight back against the barrage of GOP attacks, with less than 6 weeks left until Election Day, it could make or break this race.

In 2016, I won by only 1,017 votes, beating the incumbent Republican in one of the closest races in history. And now I'm up against the most extreme nominee for U.S. Senate that New Hampshire has seen in decades.

If Don Bolduc had his way, he would end Social Security and Medicare, and ban abortion nationwide.

We can't let him anywhere near the U.S. Senate. But if we don't close our fundraising gap in the next 6 hours, we could lose this seat and with it, our Democratic Senate majority. That's why a group of generous donors is matching all donations up to $35,000.

So I'm asking: If you donate to one campaign before the deadline closes, can you make it ours? In a state as purple as New Hampshire, your contribution will have the greatest impact. Please, rush $3 or whatever you can before midnight tonight.

I wouldn't ask if the stakes weren't so high. But with Don Bolduc as my opponent, they're higher than ever before.

Help me stand against his extreme agenda and protect our majority by donating here before midnight.

Thank you – I’m grateful to have you with me in this fight.

With every good wish,
Maggie Hassan
