Right now, the Senate is tied 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris providing a tie-breaking vote.

There’s no room for error. Defending and expanding our Senate Majority is our best chance at advancing President Joe Biden’s agenda in Congress, strengthening our fight for the Dignity of Work, and putting a check on Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s obstruction in the Senate.

This race is going to be extremely competitive and extremely expensive. GOP special-interest spending is going to flood our state. The Democratic nominee will need the full support of our grassroots movement.

Reaching our end-of-month goal just became even more important. If you can, chip in now to help elect Democrats, turn Ohio blue, and expand the Senate Majority.

With gratitude,
