Hello,

Today, I get to throw out the first pitch for the Akron RubberDucks (yes, that’s their real name). Brady and I have been practicing in the backyard and I’m ready to show off my skills.

When I was a kid, playing little league taught me a lot about hard work, determination, and never giving up the fight. It also taught me that you can win even if the odds are stacked against you -- as long as you play smart.

You see, Mitch McConnell is putting all of his wealthy friends up to bat. A new report found that several of my GOP opponents are multi-millionaires. And Trump billionaire Peter Thiel has already poured in $10 million to support J.D. Vance.

Look, everyone loves an underdog. I believe we can beat the odds, flip Ohio blue, and expand our Democratic Senate majority with you on our team. But right now, it’s the top of the third and we’re behind our weekly goal, so I’m asking:

Will you pitch in $10 or more today to help our team lay the groundwork for victory? Your donation has a direct impact on our success in the weeks and months ahead. I hope I can count on you. 

This campaign is fueled by hardworking people chipping in what they can when they can to make a difference for a movement we all believe in. That’s why I’m depending on your grassroots contribution today.

Let’s strike ‘em out.
