Let me tell you a couple things I see when I look at this picture, folks (yup, that’s me). But first, can I count on you to watch my blindside by chipping in a quick $25 right now?

I recently came across this old high school football photo, and it made me think of a few things (including how gray my hair has gotten).

First, that right there is the face of someone who doesn’t shy away from a fight. I’ve fought for Ohio my entire career, and I’ll go to the mat for working families every single day in the Senate.

Second, I know how to win. Just like I played against guys who were bigger and faster than I was back then, I’m now up against a millionaire who can outspend us with a single check from a dark money super PAC or corporate billionaire.

And lastly, I am a part of a team. This whole thing only works because I’ve got 250,000+ grassroots supporters watching my back, every single play.

We’re staring down our final FEC End-of-Quarter deadline Friday, and to say it’s a big deal wouldn’t begin to describe it. Will you step up to the line of scrimmage with me and chip in $25 to help us pull off an upset and flip Ohio blue?

It’s almost the fourth quarter, folks—time to leave it all on the field.

Thanks,

Tim Ryan
