Friend, my opponent, Bernie Moreno, spoke at the RNC last night and spent his four minutes on national TV praising Donald Trump and J.D. Vance – and personally smearing me.

Here's why it matters: Moreno is trying to mobilize MAGA megadonors because he knows we have a strong network of grassroots supporters, he knows Trump is desperate to win Ohio, and he KNOWS our race will decide Senate control.

There's so much at stake, so we need to respond ASAP. I'm asking personally, friend: Will you chip in $5 right now to fight back against these Republican smears, win in Ohio, and keep the Senate blue?

I wouldn't ask if it weren't urgent, friend. I'm facing my toughest reelection yet – The New York Times called it the race of my life – and more money is being spent in our race in Ohio than any other Senate race in the country.

But unlike my self-funding opponent, I'm running a grassroots campaign, which means I'm counting on regular folks like you to chip in to help power us to victory.

So please, friend, will you rush $5 right now so we can reach our $100,000 rapid-response goal, respond to these high-profile smears, and keep the Senate blue?

Thanks for helping in this critical moment,
