Sherrod is being outspent

This is HUGE:

Just a week after The Cook Political Report changed its ranking of Ohio’s Senate race to a toss-up, Inside Elections upgraded our race too.

With a recent poll showing Sherrod only 1 point down against Republican Jon Husted, we’re in an incredible position to keep surging ahead and win the race that’s key to deciding Senate control!

The bad news is that the GOP is now panicking… and these rating changes always trigger an influx of Republican spending. They’re already running their first attack ads against Sherrod and announced $80 MILLION more is to come.

Even worse? We’re being outspent.

That means thousands of persuadable voters are only hearing the attack ads from Sherrod’s opponent. The longer we let their ads go unanswered, the worse our odds get of flipping this seat.

Experts agree that this race is in play. But we need your immediate grassroots support to close the gap on our $300,000 rapid-response goal before midnight tonight if we’re going to scale up our own program and fight back in time.

Will you please chip in $5 or more right now to help us hit our goal, win Ohio’s toss-up race, and flip 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.

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.
