Hi, friend, it’s Sherrod. Our race is heating up as fast as the weather – and I wanted to take a brief moment to say thank you. 

There’s so much for me to be grateful for: I'm thankful for my wife, Connie, our kids and grandkids, and our two rescue dogs, Franklin and Walter. I'm thankful for the good people of Ohio. And I'm thankful to you, friend, for your solidarity in this fight to build a brighter future for all Americans, which starts by protecting our Senate majority. 

But the truth is: I’m Trump and McConnell's top target for defeat, and CNN says I'm one of the most vulnerable senators in the country. With our Democratic majority and all our progress on the line, we have to fight back ASAP. 

That's why I'm setting a goal to get 10,000 folks – including you, friend – to activate your summer membership and join Team Sherrod in the next 24 hours so we can win this race and defend the Senate. Will you chip in $5 now to activate your official Summer of Solidarity membership?

Friend: I grew up in the working-class town of Mansfield, Ohio – a community of ironworkers, carpenters, autoworkers, electricians, and more.

That's where I started my career fighting for the Dignity of Work – the belief that hard work should pay off for everyone, no matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of work you do. 

But while I'm fighting for workers and families in the Senate, my Trump-endorsed opponent, Bernie Moreno, is writing himself million-dollar checks to try to buy this seat. We can't let that happen, friend.

But here's the deal: June needs to be our biggest fundraising month yet. And with our critical end-of-quarter FEC deadline coming up fast, we need every grassroots supporter to join this team with a donation of $5 or more so we have the resources we need to fight back against the GOP's millions and win this race.

So how about it, friend? Will you rush $5 or more now to activate your Team Sherrod membership? Every dollar helps as we work to defeat our MAGA opponent and keep the Senate blue.

Thank you, 

Sherrod
