Received this e-mail today from award winning Novelist, Jodi Picoult, on behalf of Governor Maggie Hassan’s (D. NH) U.S. Senate campaign:
As a Granite State author and mom, I love New Hampshire, and I love the idea of someone representing us in Washington who fights for hard-working families too.
Maggie Hassan has been a fighter for inclusion, innovation and opportunity as a State Senator and Governor, and I know she will continue to be a champion for us in the U.S. Senate.
She's working hard to expand middle class opportunity, protect women's health care rights, and preserve our environment. That's what real leadership looks like, and that's why I'm asking you to join me in supporting her — will you donate $3 to make sure Maggie wins?
Maggie is running against Republican incumbent Kelly Ayotte who has made it clear that she's not putting New Hampshire families first. She's voted six times to defund Planned Parenthood, was the only New England Senator to vote against clean water protections, and is publicly against marriage equality. And, she's still refusing to do her job and stop obstructing the Supreme Court confirmation process.
This election — and making sure Maggie wins — is about all of us, not just those at the top.
It's about people like my son, who should have the right to marry whomever he loves. Maggie led the charge to pass New Hampshire's historic marriage equality bill, and as Governor she further strengthened protections for married LGBTQ people. That's how I know she'll fight for families like mine.
It's about ensuring women receive equal pay for equal work and have access to quality, affordable health care. Organizations like Planned Parenthood and EMILY's List have endorsed Maggie because they know she'll make sure women and their families have the resources they need to thrive.
It's about our students and making sure they have access to affordable higher education. Maggie froze in-state college tuition to help make it easier for Granite Staters to get the education they need to succeed, and I know she'll build on this progress in the United States Senate.
Please, join me and make your support official — give what you can to help elect Maggie and get the Senate working for all of our families.
All the best,
Jodi Picoult
