Friend,

First, we have some good news: Two polls show Sherrod leading this race by a slim margin, clearly showing the momentum is behind our campaign.

But now, the hard news: We're falling short of our mid-month fundraising goal. If we don’t get back on track as soon as possible, we’ll put our chances of flipping this seat and the Senate in danger.

Will you chip in $20, split with Sherrod's campaign and Democracy Defense Action to help us close the gap by midnight?

Unlike his Republican opponent, Sherrod is building a true grassroots movement – one which relies on folks like you chipping in $20 or $40 at a time. We’re mighty proud of that.

This race is heating up, and experts at The Cook Political Report have even increased our chances of winning. But misleading attack ads have already launched, and missing our goals means not having the resources to fight back when it really matters.

In a race this close, every dollar could be the difference between winning and losing. So please, friend, will you split $20 or more now so we can flip Ohio and the Senate?

Thank you,

Team Sherrod
