Friend, now that the election year is here, our battleground race has shifted into high gear. Here's where things stand:

First, CNN named me one of the most vulnerable senators in the country in the race experts say could decide Senate control.

Then, one of my Trump-backed opponents spent $2 million of his personal fortune to flood the airwaves with TV ads and flip this seat.

Now, a recent poll shows this race is neck and neck – and I'm worried we could fall behind if we don't reach our 2024 Founding Donor goal.

Unlike my self-funding opponents, I'm relying on grassroots supporters like you to power my campaign to victory. So please, will you chip in $5 or $25 to become a 2024 Founding Donor so we can win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Thanks so much for your support.
