Friend, my motto has always been that when you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. That's what I'm doing every day in the Senate.

I'm fighting for the Dignity of Work. No matter where you're from or what kind of work you do, hard work should pay off for everyone. 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'll fight for you.

I'm fighting for accountability. For years, we've seen corporations lobby for tax breaks and bad trade deals that hurt workers. I'm not afraid to stand up to Wall Street to level the playing field.

I'm fighting for our fundamental rights. My opponent has made it clear he doesn’t have our best interests at heart. I will always fight for a more equal and inclusive country.

But here's the deal: I need you to fight with me. I'm facing my toughest race yet, and polls show me neck and neck with my Trump-backed opponent. He’s spending millions of dollars to flip this seat and the Senate red, and I can't fight back without your help.

I need to raise $50,000 by midnight tonight to fight back, and I'm counting on your grassroots support to get there. Please, will you split a $5 donation between my campaign and Jeanne Shaheen’s to help me win in Ohio, defend our Democratic Senate majority, and keep fighting for you in the Senate?

Thank you,

Sherrod
