Look, friend, there's no way to sugarcoat this: We fell short of yesterday's end-of-month goal by just $8,732. 

With recent polls showing Sherrod neck and neck against self-funding millionaire GOP opponents – and experts saying this race could decide Senate control – we need to get back on track ASAP.

That's why we're urgently asking: Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now so we can close our fundraising gap, win in Ohio, and keep the Senate blue? Every dollar matters in this battleground race, and Sherrod is counting on you to come through by midnight tonight.

Thanks,

Team Sherrod
