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

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 for your support in building a brighter future for working families across America, which starts by winning this race and defending our Senate majority.

But here's what has me worried: A new poll from Morning Consult shows me down by 1 point. It's no secret that our race will decide Senate control, but with just 13 days left until the election, we're running out of time to pull ahead and win.

That's why I'm setting an ambitious goal to raise $500,000 before midnight tomorrow – and I need your support to reach it, friend.

So I'm personally asking: Will you chip in $5 – or whatever you can spare right now – to help me win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

Thank you,
