Hi, friend, it's Sherrod. After CNN analysts named me one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection, I have to admit I was a bit worried. 

Everyone from Donald Trump to Mitch McConnell started coming after us, and they haven't let up since. But over the past year, this grassroots team dug deep and helped our campaign kick it into high gear. Now, I'm more hopeful than ever that we can win this thing.

But here's the deal: Winning or losing will come down to resources. Ohio is made up of 8 million registered voters spread across 15 districts – which means we need to raise enough resources to make calls, knock on doors, and spread our pro-worker message to the voters that will decide this race.

So please, friend, will you chip in $5 right now – everything you can spare before the mid-month deadline – so we have the resources we need to win?

Unlike my millionaire GOP opponents, I'm running a true grassroots campaign, friend. I'm relying on folks like you chipping in $5 or $25 at a time to help us reach our fundraising goals and power us to victory.

It's how we're going to keep our ads on the air, run phone banks, and knock on doors so we can reach Ohioans in all 15 districts and make sure they vote on Election Day. It's also how we're going to fight back against Trump and McConnell, defend Ohio's seat, and keep the Senate blue.

So please, will you chip in just $5 today to help me reach voters in all 15 districts so we can win in Ohio and defend our Senate majority?

Thanks,

Sherrod
