Hi, friend, Sherrod here.

In a moment, I'm going to ask you to chip in $5 to split between my campaign and Aaron Rouse – but first, will you give me a second to explain why your contribution could make all the difference in this race?

Political experts are calling me one of the most vulnerable senators running for reelection, which is why Donald Trump is doubling down on Ohio by picking JD Vance as his running mate and riling up his GOP megadonors to spend record-breaking amounts to attack me on the airwaves.

They know the path to the Senate runs through Ohio.

Unlike my ultra-rich, self-funding opponent, I can't just cut myself a massive check, friend. I'm running a true grassroots campaign that relies on support from folks like you. And trust me, your $5 donation will help us win this race.

These last few weeks of the campaign are crucial. With recents polls showing me down 2 points to my MAGA opponent, the first Ohioans casting their early votes today, and our midnight deadline just hours away, we don't have a single moment to spare. So please:

Will you chip in $5 or more before midnight to split between my campaign and Aaron Rouse so we can win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue? In a race this close, your contribution will help us keep up our momentum and pull ahead.

Thank you,

Sherrod
