Hi there, it's Phil, Amy’s Campaign Manager. Did you see Amy’s message earlier? 

If not, here’s the big news: Our first TV ads of this campaign are now on the air!

I want to take you behind the scenes for a minute: In an absolute toss-up race like this one, campaigns like ours can’t play it safe. You have to make some difficult decisions to pull off a victory. 

Right now, Amy is being pummeled with attack ads by Vivek and his allies – to the tune of $57 million. That kind of spending could seriously endanger our chances if we can’t respond. 

That’s why we took a risk and made the decision to launch our own ads today. But to be honest, we don’t yet have the budget to keep our ads on the air through November. 

That’s why we’re turning to our top supporters in this urgent moment to help reach our critical $300,000 TV ads goal. Can Amy and I count on you, team?

Team, I have incredibly exciting news: 

Our first TV ad of this election is on the air all over Ohio! From Toledo to Zanesville to Dayton, Ohioans are hearing our message of hope and strength directly in their living rooms.

This is a critical turning point in our campaign. As exciting as it is to get our message out there, airtime is expensive, and this is a major strain on our budget, team.

With November approaching fast, it’s essential that we keep our ads running and reach as many voters as we can. Can you rush $10 now to power our $300,000 TV Ads Fund? 

Here’s the thing, team:

Vivek Ramaswamy and his allies have a $57 MILLION head start on us. That’s how much they’ve already spent on ads over the last few months. We’re starting from zero right now.

And while my self-funding opponent can write himself massive checks to try to buy this seat, I’m counting on grassroots supporters like you, friend, chipping in just $5 or $10 at a time to power us to victory. 

This will be a razor-thin election, and the latest polling has us in a complete tie. We need to pull out all the stops, and TV ads are a critical — but expensive — part of our strategy to win. 

I need to raise $300,000 before my end-of-month deadline to power my TV Ads Fund. So please, friend: Will you chip in $10 before our deadline to help us keep our brand-new TV ad on the air, reach as many voters as possible, and win in Ohio?

Thanks for your support, friend. Keep your eyes peeled for me on your TV screens!
