Friend, I'm sorry to start this email with bad news, but I don't have anywhere else to turn. 

New polling shows this Ohio race is still tight, which is not where we want to be in a race that could decide Senate control.

The good news is there's still time to right the ship – but we must act NOW. I set a personal goal to raise $100,000, and I'm counting on you to help us get there by midnight: Please, friend, will you split $5 or more right now between my campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand’s to help me win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

The stakes couldn't be higher. Reproductive freedom, affordable health care, our fight for the Dignity of Work, and more are on the line.

We have so much to fight for, but it's going to be a tough one. Right now, my wealthy opponent is pouring millions of dollars of his own money into this race.

But with your grassroots support at this critical moment, I know we can turn this around and win. Your support is how I've won every tough race before, and I'm counting on you to come through now.

Please, will you split $5, $25, or any amount at all between my campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand’s to help us reach this goal before midnight? Every dollar helps in our fight to protect Ohio's battleground seat and defend the Senate for Democrats.

Thanks so much,
