Friend, it's Sherrod. I’m looking at the numbers this afternoon, and I need you to see them for yourself:

– Republicans outspent us 3-to-1 to launch false attack ads against me.
– The new Morning Consult poll has me losing to my MAGA opponent.
– And now we’re still $154,340 short of our $500,000 midnight fundraising goal.

Here's the deal, friend: We’re less than two weeks out from Election Day, and I need your help. My team and I are working around the clock to win this thing, but if we come up short, we won’t have the resources we need to launch our final TV ads or power our voter outreach efforts.

The truth is I don't have a prayer of coming back unless this grassroots team steps up, so I'm counting on you, friend: Will you rush $5 to help us defeat Bernie Moreno (R), win in Ohio, and keep the Senate blue?

Thank you for standing with me, friend. Together, we will win.
