John, this is incredible:

First, experts at The Cook Political Report increased our chances of winning this race. The strength of our grassroots movement right out of the gate was undeniable.

Then, everyone from CNN to MSNBC said the Senate was officially in play – and we know that the path to retaking the majority runs straight through Ohio.

Now, not one but two recent polls show me leading my Republican opponent, Jon Husted!

The momentum is behind us, but I need your help to keep it going. Corporate special interests are going to spend millions to defeat me, and the only way I can fight back and win is if folks like you pitch in at key moments like this.

So please, will you give $15 split with Democracy Defense Action or more now to help us surge ahead in the polls, flip this critical seat, and take back the Senate?

Thank you, John. I appreciate it.

Sherrod
