re: your first $5 donation

I'm not sending this email to everyone.

I’m specifically reaching out to you, because as my team and I were going through our supporter records, you stood out.

You’re one of my top grassroots supporters. You’ve been getting these emails for a while, staying informed about this election, and I appreciate how engaged you’ve been with our campaign.

Today, I’m asking you to take the next step. Here’s why:

Our last end-of-month deadline before the Ohio primary is at midnight tomorrow, and we’re falling short of our $350,000 goal. Unlike my Republican opponent, Jon Husted, I’m not relying on billionaires with piles of cash to fund this campaign. I’m depending on people like you – giving what you can and showing up when I need you the most. And this is one of those moments.

With Husted having just unleashed a new seven-figure ad buy against me – and the GOP’s top super PAC pouring $79 million in Ohio – it’s critical we get back on track as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we’ll put our chances of flipping this seat at risk.

So please, this couldn’t be more important or urgent: Will you chip in your first $5 donation to help us reach our $350,000 goal, win this toss-up race, and flip the Senate?

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

Thank you for all that you do.

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Personal message from Sherrod: I didn’t plan on running for office again.

But when I saw how these guys in Washington are only looking out for their billionaire friends and special interests, I knew I had to get back in the fight.

This grassroots movement is about fighting back against a rigged system that benefits the wealthy and well-connected, while working people pay the price.

And we’ve got momentum: Experts increased our odds of winning and officially named Ohio as a key Senate race to watch, and two new polls show we have a slight lead over our opponent.

But I need your help: Corporate special interests have already spent millions attacking me with misleading ads. The only way we can fight back and win in Ohio is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you.

If you're with me, please chip in any amount today. If you'd like to become one of my TOP supporters and receive exclusive updates from our campaign team, text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you for standing with me.
