The attacks from the GOP are killing this campaign

The GOP attacks are working.

This is an urgent situation, and we need everyone on the same page as we fight back. Rush $5 now, or keep reading for your info.

Here's what's going on:

First, our momentum was surging, Sherrod officially won the primary, and The Cook Political Report and Inside Elections moved this race even further in our direction.

But then, the GOP’s top super PAC announced they would spend $79 million in Ohio to stop us – the most of any state. They went live with their first attacks against Sherrod, and immediately after, Sherrod’s opponent went on offense too.

Now, we're falling behind. The GOP strategy is working. The New York Times is reporting a new poll that has us slipping 3 points behind our opponent. And we’re getting reports that we’re losing ground with persuadable voters.

We know the passion of this grassroots team – and we wouldn't ask if we didn't have to – but we can't do this alone. We need you to chip in whatever you can right now: Please, will you rush $5 to help us fight back against these attacks and win in Ohio?

Thank you,

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.
