An especially bad time to fall short

Things aren't looking good.

Our April end-of-month deadline is just days away, and as of now, we’re not on track to reach our $350,000 goal. This is the last major fundraising deadline before our primary election, so it would be an especially bad time to fall short.

Sherrod is 1 point down against Republican Jon Husted in the polls.

The GOP recently announced it’s investing $79 million in this Senate race. They’re spending more in Ohio than in any other state in the country.

Dark-money PACs are putting millions of dollars behind baseless attack ads, targeting key persuadable voters with outright lies about Sherrod.

Here’s the upshot: The reason Republicans are coming after us with everything they’ve got is because they know we can win – especially after experts at The Cook Political Report shifted this race further in our direction, officially calling it a “Toss Up.”

But the only way we can fight back at this moment is by reaching our crucial end-of-month goal – and we can’t get there without you. So please, will you pitch in $25 – or even just $5 – to flip Ohio and the Senate?

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.
