Friend, I spoke last week with my campaign manager, and she broke some tough news: We're officially being outspent on TV ads.

I know, friend, I almost spit out my coffee when she told me.

But here's the deal: The GOP is zeroing in on our race because they know control of the Senate hinges on what happens here in Ohio. That's why they've named me a top target for defeat and why they're making record-breaking investments to defeat me.

Let me make one thing clear, friend: The GOP might outspend us in this race, but they will not outwork us. If we can keep reaching voters with our pro-worker message, we'll win.

To make sure we have what it takes to win this race, my team and I have set an ambitious $200,000 daily fundraising goal to hit before midnight tonight. And I'm counting on top supporters like you to help me reach it.

So please, friend, will you chip in $10, $25, or more now to split between my campaign and Dunn's Democracy Defenders to help me raise the resources I need to win in Ohio and defend our Senate majority?

Thank you,

Sherrod
