Hi there,

I’ve long wished we lived in a time when laws were not necessary to safeguard us from inequality. But laws – and the elected officials who write them – are what determine access to the voting booth, whether someone can have a safe abortion, or how much you pay for prescription drugs.

I’m committed to electing lawmakers who believe that everyone deserves a fair shot at getting ahead and staying ahead, and I have to tell you that I’m concerned by what I’m seeing in New Hampshire and Republicans’ ruthless efforts to oust Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan.

Maggie won her last election by just 1,017 votes, and Mitch McConnell and his allies are spending $55 million to defeat her. Before I go on, can you please chip in to her campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand's?

Let me make this clear. If Maggie Hassan hadn’t won her last election, the Affordable Care Act would’ve been repealed, and Republicans would currently hold the Senate majority. 

There are a lot of Republicans – all in lockstep with Mitch McConnell – who will do anything to win this year. They know that if they defeat Maggie, they regain control of the Senate chamber.

No one has ever regretted getting off the sidelines. And now, with the most extreme Republican party of my lifetime teetering on the edge of regaining power, we need all hands on deck. Please rush as much as you can to Maggie Hassan and Kirsten Gillibrand to protect the Senate majority.

Thank you,

Barbra
