Hey John. It’s Tim Ryan. Can I explain something real quick?

Long story short: A lot of things are swinging our way in Ohio and we need to capitalize on the moment to build up a strong lead. We’ve got momentum at our backs but we’re going to need your help to come out the other side with a big win.

That’s why before I get into the nitty gritty details, I’ve got to ask: Will you chip in $25 ASAP to help us win one of most competitive Senate races on the map?

Here’s a quick rundown of our Ohio Senate race:

• The Wall Street Journal called me “Democrats’ most important 2022 candidate.”
• Recent polling is giving us a slight edge over millionaire JD Vance.
• FiveThirtyEight has shifted us to a toss-up giving us a practically 50-50 shot of winning this race.
• We have an outpouring of grassroots support and with your help we outraised JD Vance last quarter… by a lot.
• Newsweek just profiled our race as one of the top two opportunities for Democrats to flip a Republican-held seat.

Look, things are going our way and it’s really easy to say “Tim’s doing good, he doesn’t need my help.”

But, John, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The only way we’re going to win this race is by giving it our absolute all from here until Election Day. Grassroots supporters, like you, are the backbone of our campaign—with your help we can make the strategic voter contact investments that will flip Ohio blue.

That being said, we're experiencing a bit of a digital fundraising slump and I’m worried we won’t be able to compete with the $80 million national Republicans are spending to boost JD Vance, attack me, and keep Ohio red. So, I could really use your help.

Can I count on you to pitch in $25 right now to get us back on track? A lot of folks are rooting against us—let’s prove ‘em wrong.

Never bet against Ohio!
