Hi there, friend, Sherrod here. As we hit the final stretch of this race, I wanted to take a moment to say: Thank you.

There’s so much to be grateful for: I'm thankful for my wife, Connie, our kids and grandkids, and our two dogs, Franklin and Walter. I'm thankful for the good folks of Ohio. And I'm thankful to you, friend, for your support to build a brighter future for working families across America, which starts by protecting our Senate majority.

But here's the hard truth: National Republicans are on the attack and will do anything to defeat me. JD Vance and Donald Trump are zeroing in on Ohio, and CNN analysts say I'm one of the most vulnerable senators in the country. With our Democratic majority on the line, and votes already being cast, we have to fight back ASAP.

That's why I'm setting a rapid response goal to raise $500,000 in the next 48 hours so we can win this race in Ohio and defend the Senate – and I need your support, friend. Will you chip in $5 or $25 right now and be one of the grassroots supporters we need to win this thing?

I grew up in the working-class town of Mansfield, Ohio, friend. It was a community of ironworkers, carpenters, autoworkers, electricians – and it's where I saw the Dignity of Work in action.

But while I'm fighting for working families in the Senate, my Trump-backed opponent, Bernie Moreno, is self-funding his campaign to try to buy this seat. We can't let that happen, friend.

We need raise $500,000 in the next 48 hours so we have the resources we need to fight back against the GOP's millions – so how about it, friend? Will you rush $5 or more right now to help me win here in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

Thankful for you,

Sherrod
