Friend, I'm sure this isn't the first or last email you'll receive asking you to donate before the end-of-quarter FEC deadline. But I hope you'll give me a moment to explain why deadlines like this are so important to campaigns like ours.

Of course, if you're ready to make a donation now to help reach our critical goal and reelect Sherrod, click here to chip in $5!

Each FEC deadline is a chance to show the strength of our campaign, and this one is our first with an official Republican opponent. What we raise by midnight on March 31 will be a matter of public record – and I guarantee you our opponent, Bernie Moreno, as well as national Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, will be keeping a close eye on the numbers we release.

This is our chance to show them we have what it takes to win this race! So please, chip in $5 now to keep Ohio and the Senate blue.

On a practical note, these quarterly fundraising numbers help us budget and strategize for the race ahead. As Sherrod's campaign manager, I'll be taking a close look at what we raise to plan out our TV buys, voter outreach efforts, and more. Your support now will help us build the massive operation we need to defend this critical seat.

And with national Republicans already funneling millions into our neck and neck race, we need a surge of resources to fight back and win.

I know we can make up the gap before the end-of-quarter FEC deadline and show MAGA Republicans that this seat is NOT for sale. So please, chip in now to reelect Sherrod in Ohio and help Democrats defend the Senate majority!

Your support has gotten our campaign this far. Thank you for making sure we start the general election off strong.

Campaign Manager
