Friend, at the end of this message, I’m going to ask you to contribute $5 to my Senate campaign in Ohio. We’ve got a $200,000 end-of-month goal coming up, and I could really use your support. Chip in now if you can.

But first, you deserve to know why I’m running.

When I first came to the Senate, they gave me a fancy official pin. I wore it for a day or two, but it didn’t feel right to me.

So I replaced it with a pin of a canary in a birdcage, given to me by a steelworker at a Workers' Memorial Day rally in Lorain.

The pin represents the coal miners who brought canaries down into the mines as a warning system for poisonous gas – because they didn’t have a union strong enough or a government that cared enough to protect them. They were on their own.

Together, we changed that. We passed worker safety laws. Banned child labor. Protected clean air and drinking water. Fought for Social Security, Medicare, and civil rights.

Because when you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. But right now, no one in D.C. is fighting for the working people of Ohio.

That’s why I’m running. And I know we can win: Two new polls show I have a small lead in this race. But corporate special interests are already spending big to defeat us.

So I’m personally asking, friend: Will you chip in $5 now to help us reach our $200,000 goal, win in Ohio, and keep up the fight for workers?

Falling short in my Senate race last year was difficult. But I haven’t taken off my canary pin, and I'll never give up our fight for workers.

How could I, when we have so much left to do?

In solidarity,
