$26.

I'm proud to share that $26 is the average grassroots donation to our campaign.

I know that might not seem like much when you think about the tens of millions that GOP super PACs are going to spend to try to defeat me and flip the Senate. But that's the power of this grassroots movement -- it's made up of folks like you who believe in this fight and chip in what they can, when they can.

This movement is how we're going to defy the pundits who are calling me one of the most vulnerable senators in the country, win in Ohio, and defend our Senate majority.

But here's the problem: The Cook Political Report ranks this race a toss-up -- and Washington Republicans are already launching attack ads against me. We need all hands on deck to fight back -- but right now, we're coming up short.

If everyone reading this email chipped in $26 -- or even just a few dollars -- we could reach our $25,000 daily fundraising goal before the midnight deadline. But not everyone will, so I'm personally asking if I can count on you.

Please, will you split $26 -- or as much as you can right now -- between my campaign and Chuck Schumer's to help me fight back against GOP attacks, defend this seat, and keep the Senate blue?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be evenly split between Chuck Schumer and Sherrod Brown:

With gratitude,
