Friend, the contrast between me and my opponent, Bernie Moreno, couldn't be clearer:

While Moreno has made it clear that he's fighting for the wealthiest 1% and corporate special interests, I've spent my life fighting for the Dignity of Work – and I mean all work. Whether you punch a clock or swipe a badge, earn a salary or make tips, are raising children or caring for an aging parent, I'm fighting for you.

I'm running for reelection so I can keep fighting for workers and families in the Senate – but I need your help. The battle for Senate control could all come down to Ohio and experts at CNN say I'm one of the most vulnerable senators on the ballot. That's why I'm personally asking: Will you chip in $5 or more now so we can win in Ohio and defend the Senate?

I grew up in Mansfield, Ohio, a community of ironworkers, carpenters, autoworkers, and electricians. Over time, I saw what used to be solid middle-class jobs and industries become less and less dependable. So I dedicated my life to fighting to ensure hard work pays off for every American.

But I'm facing my toughest reelection battle yet. My MAGA opponent has been endorsed and joined on the campaign trail by everyone from Donald Trump to Jim Jordan, and Mitch McConnell-aligned super PACs are spending record-breaking amounts in Ohio to defeat me.

The long and short of it is, I can't win – and Democrats simply can't hold on to our razor-thin Senate majority – if we don't have strong grassroots support from folks like you.

That's why I'm asking for your support today. Will you chip in $5 or more now so we can fight back against the GOP's attacks, win in Ohio, and keep the Senate blue?

With gratitude,
