I freakin’ hate sending these emails, so I’m just gonna cut straight to the chase, Folks:

We fell short of our $500,000 End-of-Month fundraising goal for August.

I know, it stinks. But with your continued support, I truly believe we can get back on track and win the race that will decide Senate control in November.

If you believe, will you pitch in $5, $10, or whatever makes sense for your budget right now to make up for this missed fundraising goal so we can flip Ohio blue?

Running for Senate was never going to be easy. And it was definitely never going to be smooth sailing once JD Vance stumbled his way to the GOP nomination.

Not only did that mean an anti-abortion, anti-democracy extremist was one step closer to Washington, but it also meant our grassroots campaign was up against the Silicon Valley billionaires and GOP megadonors who will stop at NOTHING to take back Senate control.

So while JD kicks his feet up and watches national Republicans pour millions of dollars into Ohio on his behalf, our grassroots campaign is fighting back $10 and $20 at a time.

So far, that grassroots energy has put us in a dead heat with JD in the polls. But we can’t afford to miss a single fundraising goal if we want to keep pace and finally pull ahead.

August was tough, so we need a strong September. Will you chip in to start us on the right foot? This campaign will only go as far as supporters like you are willing to take us.

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

Thanks,

Tim Ryan
