There's nothing like fall in Ohio, friend. The air is crisp. The leaves are changing. And the holidays are right around the corner.

Fall is also election season. In just a few weeks, Ohioans have a historic opportunity to enshrine reproductive rights into our state constitution by voting yes on Issue 1. And this time next year, I'll be on the ballot myself – fighting to defend my seat and our Senate majority.

That's why I'm reaching out to you today. A recent poll shows me neck and neck with my GOP opponents, and I can't afford to lose any momentum – not while they're writing their own campaigns multi-million-dollar checks and while a Trump-allied dark-money group is already running attack ads against me. 

I'm facing my toughest race yet, and experts agree what happens here could decide Senate control. If I'm going to go toe to toe with self-funding millionaires and shady super PACs, I need folks like you by my side not just next year, but now.

So I'm personally asking: Will you chip in $5, $25, or any amount that's meaningful to you, to help me fight the GOP's attacks, win in Ohio, and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you for being a part of this grassroots team. I hope you're able to enjoy everything the season has to offer.
