  Folks, I’ve been in office for a little over 100 days now, and I’m still in awe of this incredible grassroots team for putting me here. I’m spending all of my time fighting for you and trying to make progress on so many important issues. But I’m still a newbie around here. Everyone …

Maggie Hassan

  Folks, Our Democratic Senate majority rests on New Hampshire. My good friend, Maggie Hassan won her seat in 2016 by a mere 1,017 votes — it was the closest Senate race of all time. That’s why Mitch McConnell has made her a top target. He thinks she’s vulnerable. If we want to preven…
