Reaching out, re: your first $5 donation

Hi, it's Sherrod.

This message isn't for everyone. But I'm reaching out to you personally, because as my team and I were going through our supporter records, you stood out.

You’ve been identified as a top grassroots supporter. You’ve been keeping up with our campaign through these emails for a while and staying informed about this race. I truly appreciate how engaged you’ve been. It's clear you care about the direction of this country and this must-win Senate race.

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

The general election is officially here, and the billionaire backers of my Republican opponent, Jon Husted, are dumping massive amounts of money into our race in Ohio. I don't have (or want) billionaire backers – I’m depending on people like you to give what you can in important moments like this one.

That's why we must hit our critical $750,000 goal by tomorrow at midnight. This is our team’s first fundraising deadline of the general election, and 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 – we must meet this goal. Otherwise, we’ll put our chances of flipping this seat at risk.

This is important: Will you chip in your first $5 donation to help us reach our $750,000 goal, win this battleground race, and flip the Senate?

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

Thank you.

Sherrod

P.S. Our records aren’t perfect and sometimes process slowly. If you gave with a different email address or via check, we are grateful for your support!
– 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.
