Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D. WI) in support of Governor Maggie Hassan (D. NH) & Secretary of State Jason Kander’s (D. MO) U.S. Senate campaign:
We have a good chance of taking back control of the US Senate, but to do so we need to pick up states where the polls show close races. Today I want to share with you two opportunities we have to turn states blue.
First, Maggie Hassan is running for the Senate in New Hampshire, and most pundits are calling the race a toss-up. Maggie is the popular governor of New Hampshire, but right now, the polls have her down by a couple points.
I’m writing to ask for your help -- let’s give Maggie a grassroots boost and help power her to victory this November. Make a contribution right now.
Maggie has always fought for a fair and level playing field. She has helped to bring good-paying jobs back to New Hampshire, and as governor, she signed a bill to shine some light on campaign finance -- a bill the Koch brothers openly campaigned against.
Maggie’s opponent, on the other hand, has been a reliable Koch brothers vote -- they count on Maggie’s opponent to vote the way they wanted.
Next, Jason Kander is running for Senate in Missouri. Five polls show that this race is statistically tied and it is being called a toss-up that could determine the Senate control by Talking Points Memo.
If you don't know Jason, you should. He's exactly who we need in the Senate. He served in Afghanistan, and then went to serve Missouri as a Secretary of State where he cut through red tape to help small businesses.
Just like New Hampshire, the special interests have their eyes on Missouri too. In fact, Koch industries employees have given more money to Jason's opponent than any other Senator.
The Senate needs more people who will stand up to the Koch brothers, not take orders from them. Give $5, $10, or whatever you can afford, and help send Maggie Hassan and Jason Kander to the Senate.
Thanks,
Tammy
