We know it’s getting late, but we can’t afford for you to ignore Sherrod’s message.

The FINAL quarterly FEC deadline of this election is at midnight TONIGHT, and we still need 18 more donations from your area to be in a position to reach our $2 million goal.

It’s ambitious – we know – but the stakes could not be higher, with the GOP spending over $250 million to defeat us and polling now tied.

So before we officially close the books on September, we have to ask: Will you please chip in $5 (becomes $10 with our special match opportunity) to help us make up this final gap?

We can’t flip Ohio and the Senate without you. And it would mean a lot to Sherrod to know you have his back.

I know it's late, but this is the last call.

We've got a couple of hours left before the crucial FEC deadline – the final quarterly FEC deadline before Election Day – and we’re still $67,381 short.

We say this a lot, but tonight it feels particularly true: The stakes couldn't be higher. Polls are locked in a dead heat. National Republicans are spending over $250 million to defeat me because Ohio is just that important to the future of our country. The smartest political minds are saying the Senate majority will almost certainly be decided right here in Ohio.

I don’t ask this lightly, but we are legally required to close the books for our end-of-quarter fundraising drive tonight.

This really is our last chance. So please, before you go to bed, will you chip in $5 (or whatever you can) to help us reach our goal, win in Ohio, and flip the Senate? Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump are putting their full weight behind my opponent. I’m counting on you to do the same for me.

Our 2X match expires at midnight – so don’t wait. Here's a special link just for you: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/[email protected]

With gratitude,
