Friend, I'm so proud to represent the hardworking people of Ohio in the Senate – and it's a responsibility I take seriously.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: When you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. Whether you punch a clock or swipe a badge, earn a salary or work for tips, are raising children or caring for an elderly parent, I will always fight for you.

But I'll be honest with you: I'm facing my toughest reelection yet against Donald Trump's handpicked candidate Bernie Moreno. 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. This is becoming THE most expensive race in the entire country. 

And the truth is, with the GOP outspending us, I simply can’t win – and Democrats can’t defend our razor-thin Senate majority – without your support. So I’m personally asking you to make your first gift now, friend: Will you give $3 or more right now to help me defend our Democratic Senate majority and keep up the fight for the Dignity of Work?

I can't thank you enough for your unwavering support,
