Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D. NH) in support of U.S. Senator Tina Smith’s (D. MN) re-election campaign:
CNN is calling Minnesota “ground zero for a 2018 midterm election that could change control of Congress” and for good reason:
Far-right Republican Michele Bachmann is eyeing a run against Democratic Senator Tina Smith. If Democrats lose here, we lose all hope of taking back the Senate.
Will you help Democrats hold the line in Minnesota by giving $3 or more to help TinaSmith resist Bachmann’s corporate money machine? Democrats can’t win without you.
All eyes will be on Minnesota, and you can bet that Tina’s race will be a real nail-biter. Donald Trump only lost the state by little more than a point, and campaign experts say Minnesota is a swing state.
Tina is a fighter for access to quality education and a lifelong advocate for women’s health care — she even served as a Vice President at Planned Parenthood in the early 2000s.
We can’t afford to lose Tina in the Senate. If we do, we could be stuck with a Senator Bachmann — a rubberstamp for Trump’s extreme agenda. The worst part? Our chances of taking back a Democratic Senate go out the window.
This is really important: please click here to give $3 or as much as you can so that Democrats can hold the line in Minnesota and lock in our best chance at winning back the Senate.
Thank you for everything you do,
Team Maggie
