Hello,

We’re at a turning point in our country. Even though Democrats have a thin majority, Republicans are using the filibuster to block important bills in the Senate.

50/50 is not enough. It’s clear we must expand the Democratic Senate majority to abolish the filibuster and make the real progress American people want. I believe Tim Ryan is our opportunity to do just that.

Will you join me in supporting his campaign? Please, make a donation of whatever you can afford to help us flip Ohio blue. Anything you give would mean a lot to me personally.

I was born and raised in Springfield, Ohio. That’s actually how I got my start in music—performing in my church choir. I will always have a special place in my heart for the Buckeye State.

Ohio’s U.S. Senate race in November is one of the most important fights of our lifetime, which is why I couldn’t just sit on the sidelines. And you can’t either.

Tim’s right-wing opponents and their billionaire backers are already spending upwards of $80 MILLION to keep Ohio red and ensure Mitch McConnell retakes total control of the Senate.

If that happens, friend, voting rights, a higher minimum wage, affordable health care, high-quality education for all our kids, and more are in jeopardy. I don’t want to think about the damage that Republicans could do if they regain their grip on our government.

But the good news is if we win Ohio, Democrats can hold and expand our Senate majority. Even better news? Tim is neck-and-neck with his GOP opponents in the polls.

We CAN win, but only if you help Tim fight back against the attacks heading his way. Can I personally count on you to add a donation now to help Tim’s campaign win this important race?

Tim Ryan is the leader Ohio deserves. He will do whatever it takes to make sure working families get the support they need. That’s why we’re both counting on your help to win.

Thank you. I know how much this team means to Tim and it’s incredible to see so many supporters join this fight alongside us.
