Friend – I have some good news to share, and I wanted you to see it right away.

Recent polling shows me 1 point ahead of my GOP opponents in this must-win race! This is a direct result of our hard work, and a sign that our fight for the Dignity of Work is resonating with voters – but I need your help to keep it up.

So please, ahead of my end-of-month deadline on Wednesday, will you chip in $5 or more to help reach our $250,000 goal, keep up this momentum, and stay ahead in this battleground race?

The stakes of our race haven't changed: Our Democratic Senate majority hinges on what happens here in Ohio, and CNN is still calling me one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country.

My GOP opponents are pouring millions into this race – they’ll probably dump in millions more now to try and catch up – and they've got everyone from Donald Trump to Mitch McConnell pledging to help defeat me.

But with your grassroots support at this critical stage in the race, friend, I know we can win. It's how I've won every tough race before and how we've gotten to be 1 point ahead in this one.

I'm counting on you to be with me every step of the way, so please: Ahead of the first end-of-month deadline of the election year, will you rush $5 or more right now to help me win in Ohio and defend our Senate majority?

Thank you so much,
