I have an urgent update for you:

Recently, my team and I learned that Donald Trump is siphoning millions of dollars into battleground Ohio. He’s already announced $10.2 million, but with a warchest estimated at $400 million, we know more is coming.

I’m going to tell you more, but if you already understand the gravity of the situation and want to ensure we have the resources to flip Ohio, it’d mean a lot if you can chip in here:

In just the last few days of this campaign, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump have all committed to spend tens of millions in Ohio in their effort to defeat me and cling onto Senate control. Listen, we have a strong grassroots operation, but it takes us months to raise money like that. To these billionaires? A million dollars is couch cushion change.

I’m not saying this to scare you, but I need you to understand what’s at stake here. Republicans have been outspending us 3:1, but we’ve held onto our lead anyway. That’s a big deal. But money like this isn’t anything to turn a cold shoulder to, and we need an immediate surge of support if we’re going to keep our edge.

Without the resources to respond ASAP, these new attacks will ensure we’re drowned out days before the first Ohioans start receiving their ballots.

We need to do something, and we need to mobilize quickly, so we set an ambitious goal to raise $500K to air more ads, scale up our voter contact, and set the record straight before Donald Trump’s attacks can sink in.

So before you click away, can you make a contribution to our campaign so we can fight back and flip Ohio’s toss-up Senate seat? Any amount – truly any amount – will add up.

My team needs to meet again soon to discuss these developments, but I’ll be tracking donations at the link above for the next 90 minutes. This grassroots team has never let me down before, and I need you more than ever.

More soon,

Sherrod
