Friend: Before I ask you to chip in $5 today, I want to make sure you know exactly who and what you're supporting.

I grew up in Mansfield, Ohio, a community of ironworkers, carpenters, autoworkers, and electricians. My parents taught me to work hard, be kind, and serve my community. So I've spent my life trying to do just that.

That means fighting in the Senate to raise the minimum wage, protect Social Security and Medicare, and hold big banks and corporations accountable for the damage they've done to workers and our economy. It means standing up for voting rights, reproductive rights, marriage equality, and more.

I want what most Americans want: to ensure our nation delivers on its promises. But right now, I need your help. Experts say that I'm one of the most vulnerable senators on the ballot, and the only way I can defend my seat and keep up our progress is with your critical support. So please, will you chip in $5 or more right away? Your donation will be split between me and Jeanne.

I'm facing my toughest reelection yet, friend.

Politico reports that Ohio could decide Senate control, and Mitch McConnell has personally named me a top GOP target in 2024. That's why this race is on track to be one of the most competitive and expensive in the country.

But unlike my GOP opponents, I don't have my own multimillion-dollar fortune to pour into this campaign – so I'm fully relying on $5 and $25 donations from folks like you to power our movement to victory.

Please, will you chip in $5 or more – split between me and Jeanne – now to help me win in Ohio, keep the Senate blue, and continue delivering for families across the country?

Thanks for being on our team, friend. I'm humbled to have your support.

With gratitude,
