Folks: I’m officially facing off against Jon Husted for Ohio’s Senate seat.

So much hard work has brought us to this point, and I’m beyond grateful to everyone who has devoted their time, energy, and dollars to support my campaign so far. Because of you, Ohio is in play and we have a serious shot of flipping this seat and retaking a Senate majority.

But the truth is, it’s only getting harder from here. 

Experts agree that Ohio is one of the most likely seats to flip this year, and it’s the key state in our path to Senate control. National Republicans have already poured a tsunami of outside resources into Ohio to attack me and my record – and I can guarantee they’re about to unleash a new wave of attacks.

I’ll have more to say soon, but in the meantime, I have to candidly ask for your support. We’re entering a brand new phase of this race, and I need you by my side.

Can I count on you to have my back by splitting a contribution between my campaign and Blue Senate? Any donation will make a difference in this new phase of our race – no matter the amount.
