John, I wanted you to hear it from me personally: We were outraised by Kelly Ayotte.

A recent public fundraising report showed that my anti-choice opponent Kelly Ayotte brought in a record-setting fundraising haul – primarily from high-dollar, GOP mega-donor contributions.

Cook Political Report rated this race a pure toss-up and polling shows I’m in a statistical tie against Ayotte.

But I'm no stranger to tough races: I flipped Manchester’s mayoral seat for the first time in nearly 15 years.

From that, I learned that the key is to build a strong, grassroots team that is determined to push New Hampshire forward. With enough supporters chipping in, organizing, and spreading our message across New Hampshire, we can flip this seat blue.

Kelly Ayotte’s average donation this year was more than $2,000. That’s not a typo.

So I’m asking 100 of our top supporters – including you, John – to chip in $50, our average grassroots donation, to help our people-powered campaign take on Ayotte and the National Republicans trying to buy this seat. Can I count on you, John?
