Jeanne's Cookies: Coming to you candidly.

Coming to you candidly.

Hi, it’s Sherrod.

I'm reaching out personally because the stakes of our battleground Senate race couldn’t be clearer:

Political experts are now ranking Ohio as one of the key states that will decide control of the Senate in November.

And the margins are razor-thin: The Cook Political Report named our battleground race a "Toss Up," and the polls show I'm neck and neck with my Republican opponent, Jon Husted.

Will you chip in $5 today to help us pull ahead and flip this seat?

With the Senate in play and GOP super PACs pouring $81 million into Ohio to attack me and prop up Husted, every dollar matters. Every conversation with voters, every volunteer shift, and every grassroots supporter makes a difference.

My last Senate campaign was the most expensive in history, and this year is shaping up to attract even more out-of-state spending than before. I'm not intimidated though – I'm used to tough fights like these.

But I need you with me.

I'm asking candidly because, as someone who has been following our campaign for a while – you know the stakes. Will you make your first gift of $5 or $10 today to help us win in Ohio and flip the Senate?

I appreciate your support.

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.
