Team,

In a moment, we’re going to ask if you can chip in to support Ohio Democrats on the ballot this year, but first, we want to tell you why your contribution is so crucial.

The reality is that Ohio will decide control of Congress. That’s not a dramatization. Sherrod Brown’s Senate race and our five Congressional races are the most competitive in the country. SIX seats in ONE state will change the trajectory of the entire nation.

Political pundits know it, we know it, and Republicans know it — that’s why they’re pouring money into Ohio. We’re not talking pennies and dimes. A conservative group just rolled out a $4 million ad buy to boost Republicans in key races — the first state they’re targeting? You guessed it: OHIO.

If that wasn’t alarming enough, The Hill reported that the House Republicans’ campaign arm outraised its Democratic counterpart for the first month this year. The momentum is on their side.

The country is watching Ohio. It’s on us to fight back and give Ohio Democrats the resources they need to win. If we don’t, Congress will be controlled by the GOP.

So we’re asking: Will you donate $5, $10, or anything you can afford to help Ohio Democrats win in November so we can hold on to the Senate and flip the House?

We wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.

Thank you,

Team ODP
