Friend: As you read this, Ohioans are casting their ballots. It's exciting, but it's also a reminder that we're in the final stretch – and that we urgently need to work together to win. Here's why:

1) Ohio is a crucial toss-up Senate race according to Sabato's Crystal Ball – meaning that, if we lose, Democrats will lose control of the Senate.

2) Republicans have outspent us 3-to-1 to smear me on the airwaves with nasty and false attack ads and prop up my MAGA opponent, Bernie Moreno.

3) A recent poll shows I'm trailing Moreno by 2 points – meaning the attacks are working right as early voting kicks off.

So much is at stake – and if you know me, you know that I don't count on dark money from billionaires like my opponent. I count on people like you and our entire team of grassroots supporters to chip in at moments exactly like this one.

That's why I'm asking: Will you rush $5 or more right now to split between our campaign and Jacky Rosen’s so we can get out the vote, win in Ohio, and defend the Senate?

Grateful for your support,

Sherrod
