Friend, this is incredible: With the election just 78 days away (early voting starts on Oct. 8!) the latest polls show me with a slight lead over our MAGA opponent, Bernie Moreno.

But now, national Republicans are outspending us on TV to flood the airwaves with nasty attack ads and turn the tides against us. I can't fight back without your support, so I'm urgently asking: Will you give $5 right now to win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

Experts say our race in Ohio is the key to Senate control. That's why Donald Trump, JD Vance, Mitch McConnell – and basically every Republican across the country – are calling their GOP megadonor friends to flood this state with dark money to defeat me.

We're fighting back by launching TV ads, knocking on doors, and mobilizing the voters we need to win. But unless we raise another $200,000 by midnight, we might need to pull back on all our efforts.

Make no mistake, friend, this will be a tough battle all the way to Election Day. You know that I wouldn't ask unless it was absolutely necessary, so please, will you rush $5 to help us fight back against GOP attacks, win this race, and defend our Senate majority?

We can do this if we all work together.

With gratitude,
