Huge decision

Hi, Sherrod just made a tough call.

If you’re short on time, please consider chipping in to our campaign. If you need to hear more, let us explain:

We're barrelling toward the Ohio primary – the official kickoff of the general election. And as soon as we clear that hurdle, our campaign will shift into overdrive. Thousands of volunteers will start knocking on doors. Voter registration efforts will ramp up. Dozens of ads will hit the airwaves attacking us. We’ll launch our own ads to respond.

That’s why we're making some serious spending decisions this week for the next phase of this race.

We’re talking staff, ads, equipment, you name it. We’ll be setting the budget for the next few months of our campaign – a phase that makes or breaks competitive races like ours.

If we’re going to flip this seat, we have to MASSIVELY scale up our operation on all fronts. So Sherrod made a tough call and approved our most ambitious budget yet. One that accounts for the kind of investments it will take to reach and turn out persuadable voters in every corner of Ohio.

But here’s the catch: We don’t have the money in the bank for that increase just yet. We can only green light those investments if this grassroots team steps up today.

Will you rush $5 to make sure we're flexing every muscle and reaching as many voters as possible with Sherrod’s message?

DONATE

Experts are predicting Ohio's Senate race could be the closest in the country – and a recent poll has us down by ONE point!

This race is heating up: The Cook Political Report just re-rated our race as a “toss up” – but now we're facing an ocean of Republican money.

We can’t risk our message getting drowned out, so supercharging our operation is critical to cutting through the noise and reaching Ohioans across the state.

Please, Sherrod is counting on you to step up. Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can afford to help us fund this next phase of our campaign, push our message out, and win in Ohio? Senate control is on the line, so we can’t leave any stones unturned.

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.
