Have you seen the news, friend? My self-funding, Trump-backed opponent, Bernie Moreno, just went on national television to attack me. 

With experts saying this race could decide Senate control, the GOP isn't leaving anything to chance. Moreno even went as far as to brag to Newsmax about the record-breaking ad buy Mitch McConnell-aligned super PACs made to try to buy this seat – and that's on top of the $4.5 million that Moreno has already poured into this race.

With polls showing this race is statistically tied, we can't afford to be outspent right as the general election heats up. But unlike my opponent, I can't write my campaign a million-dollar check. Instead, I'm counting on grassroots supporters like you to chip in $5 or $25 to power us to victory.

So please, I'm personally asking: Will you rush $5 or more right now to help us fight back against GOP attacks, win in Ohio, and keep the Senate blue?

Thank you,
