Friend, I’m asking you for just $5.

Here’s why: Polls show me neck and neck with my Trump-backed opponent, Bernie Moreno, in the race experts say will decide Senate control. Now, national Republicans are making record-breaking ad buys to flood the airwaves with attack ads and turn the tide against me – and I recently learned that we're officially being outspent on TV.

Friend: Unlike my opponent, I can’t write my campaign million-dollar checks. Instead, I’m counting on folks like you to chip in just $5 – or whatever you can spare – to help us reach our end-of-month goal before tomorrow's midnight deadline and defend this must-win seat.

I know $5 doesn't sound like much, but that's how we've built the strong grassroots movement we have right now. And if everyone who reads this email gives $5, we’d reach our critical $2 million end-of-month goal in no time.

So please, friend: Can I count on you to chip in $5 now to help me meet my end-of-month goal before tomorrow's midnight deadline, win Ohio, and defend our razor-thin Senate majority?

Every dollar counts in this battleground race, which is why we can’t afford to miss a single fundraising goal from now until November, friend.

Thank you,

Sherrod
