"Rumpled." "Disheveled." "Wrinkled."

Each morning when I wake up, the first thing on my mind is fighting for Ohioans and the Dignity of Work – not competing for the Senate’s best dressed. That’s why sometimes, “rumpled,” “wrinkled,” and “disheveled” are the words used to describe me. 

And I get it, friend. Most days, you're much more likely to find me in a Guardians sweatshirt or T-shirt than a suit and tie.

I'm running for reelection to continue fighting for the Dignity of Work – all work. Whether you punch a time clock or swipe a badge, work for tips or earn a salary, are raising children or caring for an aging parent, I'll fight for you. And fighting for all workers doesn’t require the perfect wardrobe. 

Today though, I'm asking you to have a little faith in me and our campaign, rumpled suit and all. Because the truth is, I'm in the fight of my life to defend Ohio's seat and our Democratic Senate majority. CNN is calling me one of the most vulnerable senators on the ballot, and my Trump-backed opponent is ALL-IN to defeat me.

That's why I'm personally asking for your help today, friend: Will you chip in $5 or more before our midnight deadline so we can win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue? Contributions from grassroots supporters like you are critical to powering our campaign to victory.

Thanks for being on our team.

Disheveled, but in earnest solidarity,
