Folks—I was hoping I wouldn’t have to write this email, but here we are…

A brand new poll has our campaign trailing JD Vance by 4.5 points.

JD’s dark money allies are pouring millions into this race—and it’s working. Will you please rush a $25 donation to fight back and win the race that will decide Senate control?

FIRST: Powered by grassroots supporters like you, we outraised JD Vance and held a 2-point lead in the polls as we entered August.

THEN: GOP dark money groups like the NRSC and Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund flooded Ohio with ads, knowing full well they couldn’t afford to stay silent in the race that decides Senate control.

NOW: We’re being OUTSPENT by national Republicans, Mitch McConnell and JD’s billionaire buddies—and their dark money strategy has JD Vance PULLING AHEAD IN THE POLLS.

I never want to email you with bad news, folks—but this is about as bad as it gets.

If we continue to be outspent by national Republicans, we’ll fall even further behind in the polls and our chance of expanding our Democratic Senate majority will CRUMBLE.

This is it, folks—the time to respond is NOW. Will you rush $25 (or more!) right away so we can respond to the GOP’s attacks and regain our lead in the polls? If we act fast, we’ll be able to stop JD’s momentum before it’s too late.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Let’s do this!
