Hi, friend, it’s Sherrod. I'm coming to you with a simple, but important request: Will you chip in just $5 to help me reach my urgent $250,000 goal and power our campaign to victory?

Let me explain: Experts say our race in Ohio is the most expensive Senate race in history – and my campaign manager recently let me know that national Republicans outspent us 3-to-1.

That means unless we close our budget gap ASAP, all our efforts – from running TV ads to spreading our pro-worker message to talking to voters in their communities – could be drowned out.

We have a plan to turn this around, friend, but I need your help to make it happen. Will you chip in $5 right now and be one of the grassroots supporters we need to fuel our fight to win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

I'll be honest, friend: This is my toughest race yet. I'm up against a self-funding, Trump-backed opponent who's only ever looked out for himself and his millionaire friends. We couldn't be more different – I'm in this fight for workers and families. But right now, a new poll from Morning Consult shows me down 1 point, and we're running out of time to pull back ahead and win.

That's why every dollar matters – and why your donation could mean the difference between winning and losing. So I'm personally asking you, friend, to be one of the grassroots supporters we need to power our movement to victory. >>

Thank you for your support,
