Folks—I’m about to ask you to chip in $5 to my grassroots campaign. But first, a few facts about this battleground race:

1. Ohio’s open Senate seat will decide if we’re able to hold and expand our slim Democratic majority. A 50/50 Senate has failed to protect abortion, so we can’t afford to lose a single competitive race like this one.

2. I’m leading Republican JD Vance by just 2 points. Polling shows that Ohioans support our plan to cut workers in on the deal—the more we’re able to get our message out, the more voters we’ll win over.

3. National Republicans are funneling millions of dollars into Ohio. One right-wing billionaire even dropped $15 million into a super PAC backing Vance.

4. We’re in a summer fundraising slump, so we'll need a big grassroots boost to hit our goal this month. Republicans will jump at the opportunity to drown out our workers first message with their BS smear campaigns.

We need your help to stay on track to win this neck-and-neck race. So, will you rush in just $5 right now?

Together, I know we can pull this off.
