Folks, it's official: the general election is here!

I couldn't be more honored to represent the people of Ohio and have the opportunity to keep fighting for the Dignity of Work in the Senate. I want to personally thank every member of this team — including you — for powering our grassroots movement this far.

All we have accomplished together so far makes it clearer than ever, Ohio voters want someone who will fight for them in the Senate. Better wages and working conditions, reproductive freedom, affordable housing and health care — I promise to keep up these critical fights for all of us.

But our real fight starts now, friend. We now have an official opponent, Bernie Moreno, and he's a deep-pocketed Donald Trump ally that's ready to spend millions of dollars to try to buy this seat. Polls show this race is neck and neck, Republicans are already spending record-breaking sums to defeat me and flip the Senate red, and it's only going to get worse.

So I'm personally asking: Will you split $10 or more right now between my campaign and Fair Shot PAC to make sure we have the resources to fight back against GOP attacks, protect this seat, and keep the Senate blue?

You're the reason we have made it this far — and you're the reason why we'll do it again in November. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
