Friend, in case you didn't know already, I'll tell you now: I'm a huge Cleveland baseball fan. Have been all my life. Nothing says summer to me like a trip to the ballpark.

As a sports fan, you're there for your team when they're up and when they're down. Today, I'm asking this grassroots team to be there for me in a moment when I need your support.

CNN says I'm one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country, and polls show me neck and neck with my potential GOP opponents. I'm up against multiple self-funding millionaires and national Republican donors who see this race as their path to the Senate majority.

Winning will take a massive grassroots effort, but I know with folks like you on my team, we can make it happen. Can I count on you to join our movement, friend? Please donate $5, or any amount that's meaningful to you, to help me win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority!

Thank you so much,
