Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D. NH) in support of U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D. MO) re-election campaign:
Earlier this month, the Trump administration granted bosses the power to deny their female employees access to birth control.
Instead of calling out this sexism for what it is — an attack on reproductive rights — ultraconservative Republican Josh Hawley openly applauded it.
Josh Hawley is running to unseat Missouri’s Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill in the race The Washingon Post recently ranked as the #1 most likely to flip, and Republicans have already launched over a dozen attack ads to defeat Claire.
This race is going to be VERY tight, so Claire needs to hit every single fundraising benchmark if she’s going to fight these attacks and win. She’s counting on us to help her raise $10,000 by midnight tomorrow — otherwise she’ll fall behind and we’ll have a far-right Senator Hawley making decisions about women's health care. Can you please give $3 or more to help us get there?
Women shouldn’t have to live in fear about whether Donald Trump and Josh Hawley will take away access to the care they depend on. But we’ve seen time and time again that if we’re not careful, that’s EXACTLY what will happen.
With so much at stake, we can’t afford to come up short. $10,000 is a lot of money but if we all give $3 or what we can, we can hit our goal and keep Claire in the Senate to fight for women and families like yours.
