Folks, it’s official—I’ll be facing millionaire right-wing extremist JD Vance in November.

Bring it on. But before I go any further, I need your immediate help.

My team has set a 20,000 General Election Founding Donor goal. Will you pitch in a donation split between my campaign and Debbie Stabenow to help us kick off the general election in the strongest position possible? We’ll need dedicated folks like you in our corner if we want to flip Ohio blue.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a candidate more out-of-touch with hardworking Ohioans than JD Vance. He’s endorsed by Donald Trump and has the backing of Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel’s $13.5 million super PAC.

But even with all of that on his side—I have a one-point lead on him in the polls, proving we have the momentum to flip Ohio blue. But I’m going to need a whole lot of help because the stakes of our battleground race just got a lot higher.

Now that the Supreme Court vote to overturn Roe v. Wade has been leaked, we can’t afford to let JD anywhere near the Senate. He called pregnancy from rape “inconvenient” and said overturning Roe would be a “victory.”

JD has the full backing of the entire Republican Party on his side and they’ve committed to spending hundreds of millions to try to take back Senate control.

I’m ready to take on JD Vance, but I’m going to need your help—can you become a Founding Donor of my general election campaign to flip Ohio blue and expand our Democratic Senate majority?

Having JD Vance in the Senate would be terrible for Ohio, and I need your help defeating him so we can invest in Ohio families and finally cut workers in on the deal.

This is the big one—so let’s do this.

Happy to have you in my corner,

—Tim
