Hi, friend, it’s Sherrod here. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in just $5. But before I do, I want to make sure you understand who you’re supporting, what we're up against, and why your $5 donation couldn’t be more important. 

I grew up in Mansfield, Ohio, a small town full of good, hardworking people: ironworkers, carpenters, autoworkers, teachers, and electricians. My parents taught me, above all, to be kind and to give back when I could. And that's what I'm doing today.

That means fighting in the Senate to raise the minimum wage, protect Social Security and Medicare, and hold big banks and corporations accountable for the damage they've done to workers and our economy. It means standing up for voting rights, reproductive rights, marriage equality, and more.

I’m fighting for Ohioans and the Dignity of Work because I want what most Americans want: to ensure our nation delivers on its promises. But right now, I need your help.

Recent polls show me neck and neck with my Trump-backed opponent, and experts say Ohio will decide Senate control. The only way I can defend my seat and keep up our progress is with your critical support, which is why I have to ask, friend: Will you chip in $5 or more now to keep Ohio and the Senate blue?

Without a doubt, this is my toughest reelection yet. With multiple experts calling me one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country, Mitch McConnell has personally named me a top target for defeat.

Now, Trump, McConnell, and their MAGA megadonors are spending record-breaking amounts in Ohio to try to defeat me and flip the Senate red. That's why this race is on track to be one of the most competitive and expensive in the country.

But unlike the GOP, I don't have millionaire friends to help me try to buy this seat. I’m counting on grassroots supporters like you to power us to victory, one $5 or $25 donation at a time.

So please, will you chip in $5 or more now to help me win in Ohio, keep the Senate blue, and continue fighting for the hardworking people across the country?

Thank you for your support,
