We never thought this would be easy, friend – and The New York Times just confirmed what we've been saying: Sherrod is facing his toughest race yet.

The entire GOP establishment – from Donald Trump to Mitch McConnell to Ted Cruz – is zeroing in on Ohio because they know it's the key to Senate control. Sherrod has beaten the odds before, but we need your help:

Will you chip in $5 or more right now to help us win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

There's so much at stake, friend. If we lose, Republicans are virtually guaranteed to retake the Senate. That means our opponent, Bernie Moreno, a country club Republican who supports a national abortion ban, will push his MAGA values on the entire country. We cannot let that happen.

Our country needs Sherrod to continue to do what he's always done: fight for working families, defend reproductive rights, protect pensions, and create solid union jobs. We can't afford to have all our progress undone. But Sherrod can't win without grassroots supporters like you by his side.

That's why we're asking for your help as our midnight deadline approaches: Will you chip in $5 now so we can win in Ohio, keep the Senate blue, and defeat the MAGA agenda for good?

Let's defy gravity, 

Team Sherrod
