john,

Tim Ryan here. In a minute, I’ll ask you to split a critical donation to my campaign and Tina’s efforts to expand our Democratic majority, and help us before my final public filing deadline of the Senate primary election in Ohio. But first, I owe you an explanation...

National pundits and talking heads on TV are quick to dismiss Ohio, saying it’s not a battleground race. But they don’t see what I see.

Everywhere I go, folks are fired up like never before to flip this seat blue. The polls show me neck-and-neck with my opponents. And time and again, we post record-breaking fundraising numbers.

Look, this race will be tough. Republicans are already spending upwards of $80 million to keep this seat red. And every single one of my GOP opponents is a multi-millionaire.

But I know with enough grassroots support we can build up the resources we need to overcome their attacks, flip this seat blue, and expand the Democratic Senate majority.

April 13th marks our pre-primary FEC filing deadline. This is the last time our numbers will be made public before the Democratic primary election, and it’s a big test of our team’s strength.

Can I personally count on you to split a donation of anything you can afford before our final FEC deadline before the primary? It means a lot.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Tina Smith and Tim Ryan will be processed immediately:

Chip in $3 now Chip in $10 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

Thanks so much for your support. It makes a difference.

— Tim
