Can I tell you a story, folks?

During the Great Depression, my great-grandfather walked miles every morning to the local steel mill to see if they were hiring any workers. Along with hundreds of others, my great-grandpa hoped he would be one of the few to get picked—even if just for a few hours of work.

He was rarely selected. But he still made that walk every single day, every single month.

Here’s why I’m telling you this: My family taught me a lot about determination, perseverance, and doing what’s right. I’ll never forget where I came from or who I’m fighting for.

Because with all the chaos and partisan gridlock happening in Washington, you need someone who will roll up their sleeves and get to work—no matter how many miles the walk is.

But right now I’m in the fight of my life. Mitch McConnell is hellbent on retaking the Senate majority. My GOP opponents are spending more than $40 million to keep Ohio red. And we’re expecting a barrage of attacks to hit us any day now.

So, I’m asking for your support. Will you split a $5 contribution between my campaign and Maggie Hassan's to help me flip this seat? If we win here in Ohio, we can stop McConnell and expand our Democratic Senate majority.

I grew up in Niles, Ohio. I was raised by a single mom. I watched my family and neighbors lose their livelihoods when jobs shipped overseas. I know the importance of community because I’ve lived it.

I promise I’ve got your back. I hope you’ve got mine too.
