Jeanne's Cookies: Not good. Sherrod needs you.

Not good. Sherrod needs you.

This isn't the update we wanted to share today.

Unfortunately, with just hours left until our midnight fundraising deadline, we're not on track to reach our crucial $20,000 online fundraising goal.

It's never good to fall short, but now would be an especially bad time for that to happen. Here's why:

Polling shows this race is neck and neck. And a BRAND NEW poll shows Sherrod's lead is growing.
Republicans have already launched misleading attack ads.
At the end of the month, we're legally required to report our fundraising numbers to the FEC for everyone to see – including Sherrod's opponent and Republican megadonors.

National Republicans and their dark money backers are making critical spending decisions soon. If we show any sign of vulnerability, they will dump MILLIONS of dollars into Ohio to defeat Sherrod and crush our grassroots movement.

We need to turn things around before we close the books or we'll risk having the full force of the GOP fundraising machine unleashed against us. That's why we set ambitious goals like this one – and it's why we're turning to you today.

Please, will you chip in $25 – or $5 – to help us close the gap on our $20,000 goal before midnight? Every dollar has a HUGE impact on our chances to flip the Senate, and your donation is critical.

Thank you for coming through at this important moment.

Team Sherrod

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.
