Meet Senator Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire) and help hold the Senate!
Senator Hassan won her seat by just 1,017 votes in 2016. It was the closest race of the cycle. She faces a tough campaign in 2022 and needs our support. The Senate is evenly split, with the Vice Presidency of Kamala Harris giving a narrow majority to the Democrats . A loss of even one seat could cost us the majority. Historically, the party in the White House loses an average of 4 seats in the Midterms. We can't let that happen.
