Just yesterday, Senator Hassan released a new TV ad, “Safety,” featuring New Hampshire law enforcement officers applauding Senator Hassan’s long record of delivering resources to secure our borders and investing in public safety.
“Anyone who knows Maggie Hassan’s record knows that she is working to secure the southern border and will block any effort to raise taxes on middle-class Americans,” said Maggie for NH spokesperson Kevin Donohoe. “While the Republicans are resorting to desperate lies to try to boost Don Bolduc’s struggling campaign, Senator Hassan will continue to work to keep Granite Staters safe.”
