Hey friend – it’s Rachel, Sherrod's campaign manager. I have some tough news.

I just checked ActBlue, and it looks like we're going to fall short of our 1,000 donor goal ahead of tonight's end-of-quarter FEC deadline. But the good news is that if we see a surge of grassroots support ASAP, we can still turn this around!

So I'm personally asking: Will you please rush $5 or more right now to help Sherrod get back on track, win in Ohio, and defend Democrats' Senate majority?

Here's why reaching our goal is so important: After the FEC deadline, our numbers will go public. This means that everyone – including Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and our GOP millionaire opponents – will see just how much we raised.

This is our chance to show them just how strong this grassroots team is and that this seat in Ohio is not for sale. But we can't get there without your help, Friend.

So please, will you chip in $5 – or our average donation of $26! – to help us reach our critical end-of-quarter goal, protect Sherrod's seat, and defend our Senate majority?

Thanks for being part of this team, friend.
