Friend, I just got off the phone with my campaign manager, and she broke some tough news: Believe it or not, more money has been spent on TV ads for our race heading into November than in the presidential race.

I know, Friend, I almost spit out my coffee when she told me.

But here's the deal: The GOP is zeroing in on our race because they know control of the Senate hinges on what happens here in Ohio. That's why they've named me a top target for defeat, and why they're making record-breaking investments to defeat me.

Let me make one thing clear, Friend: The GOP might outspend us in this race, but they will not outwork us. If we can keep reaching voters with our pro-worker message, we'll win.

To make sure we have what it takes to win this race, my team and I have set an ambitious $75,000 daily fundraising goal to hit before midnight tonight. And I'm counting on top supporters like you to help me reach it.

So please, Friend, will you split $10, $20, or more now between my campaign and John Hickenlooper’s to help me raise the resources I need to win Ohio and defend our Senate majority?

Thank you,
