Friend, I'll be direct: We're running out of time. The primary election is less than one month away, which means election season is officially here in Ohio. 

Even without an official opponent, CNN analysts are calling me one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country, and with Senate control on the line, the attacks have already started. Donald Trump's mega-donors poured hundreds of thousands into my potential opponent's campaign, and Mitch McConnell's super PACs just made their biggest ad reservation in a single state ever to turn the tides against me.

With early voting already underway, I need your continued support to fight back and win, friend. So I'm personally asking:

Will you make a weekly donation of $5 or more now so I can fight back against the GOP's attacks, win this race, and keep the Senate blue?

I'm running for reelection because I'm committed to fighting for the Dignity of Work and being a voice for working families in the Senate. My opponents would rather fight for corporate interests and billionaires, and every one of them has said they'd overrule Ohioans by voting for a national abortion ban. 

Unlike them, I don't have a personal fortune to pour into this campaign. Instead, I have a grassroots team made up of thousands of supporters just like you, friend. Your donation of $5 or $25 goes directly toward funding our campaign operations – from running TV ads to mobilizing voters.

So please, can I count on you to make a weekly donation of $5 between now and our primary election on March 19th? Your support is essential to helping me win this race and defend our Senate majority.

Please don't wait – thank you.
