Well, I must admit I’d never heard this one before.

Stephen Colbert just called my Republican opponent “the kookiest, zaniest, conspiracy wacko this side of nutso Banana Junction.” I’m not one for name calling, but Colbert is right.

Don Bolduc wants to defund the Department of Homeland Security, abolish the Department of Education and is even open to getting rid of the FBI. That’s on top of his support for decimating Medicare and ending Social Security altogether. So yes, I think it’s fair to call this guy a “wacko.”

Bolduc’s primary victory only raises the stakes of this race. Top Republican outside groups have doubled down on their commitment to flipping New Hampshire, and Mike Pence has already made a big fundraising trip to help bolster Bolduc.

I hope I can count on you to fight back, everyone, because the last thing New Hampshire – or the United States – needs is Don Bolduc in the Senate. Please split $5 between my campaign and Gary Peters' right now to make sure this election denier NEVER makes it to Congress.

Polls are tight, and since we only defeated our Republican opponent by 1,017 votes in our last race, we really need all hands on deck.

Thank you.

With every good wish,
Maggie Hassan
