Friend, summer is a slow time for fundraising, and I get it. Political campaigns are the last thing on people's minds right now.

But I'll be honest, I'm worried.

The challenges we're facing (a toss-up race in a state Trump won twice, multiple self-funding, GOP millionaire opponents, millions in outside money pouring into Ohio) are daunting.

That's why I'm reaching out to my most engaged supporters – including you, friend – to ask for your help one last time ahead of tonight's critical end-of-month deadline. We're still $8,389 short of our goal, and I simply can't pull ahead, win in Ohio, or help Democrats defend our Senate majority without you. So please, can I count on you?

Thank you so much,
