I wanted to send a quick note, friend: Thank you.

Thank you for being a part of my grassroots team. Folks like you are the reason why I’ve won tough races in the past and the reason I'm able to champion change for working families every single day.

Thank you for believing in me and our fight for the Dignity of Work. We're making Ohio a more equitable place, leading the charge for workers across the country and holding corporations accountable.

Thank you for sticking with me as I face my toughest race yet. CNN says I'm one of the most vulnerable senators on the ballot – and with Senate control on the line, national Republicans like Mitch McConnell and his dark-money allies are laser-focused on defeating me.

With you by my side, we'll be able to defy the odds and defend this seat. We'll be able to fight back against the misleading attack ads the GOP throws our way. We'll be able to reach our critical midnight fundraising goal and every one that follows it.

But that requires folks like you coming through at important moments like this. So please, friend, I'm humbly asking: As one of my top supporters, will you chip in $5 or more right away to fuel our fight to win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue? Our crucial deadline is tonight at midnight, and I'm falling just a bit short of what I need to continue powering this movement to victory.

Thank you in advance for chipping in what you can.
