Just left an emergency finance meeting

Hi, I just got out of an emergency campaign meeting, and I need to fill you in.

This morning, National Republicans released their targets for the midterms, and Ohio was #1 on their list. They’re planning to flood our state with $79 MILLION worth of attack ads to defeat me.

That means we’ll need more resources to fight back earlier than we thought. So I sat down with my finance team, and we set a $100,000 emergency goal so we can launch our own TV and digital ads sooner and reach voters before the GOP’s spending spree starts.

So I’m personally asking: Will you chip in $5 or more to help us get there?

I don’t make requests like this lightly. But this may be the biggest moment of our campaign so far.

Thousands of people have joined this grassroots team, and I am so humbled to have you on board, too. We’re building historic momentum, and it’s terrifying to the corporate special interests and billionaires who want to keep my opponent in power.

But we can’t slow down now. Because if we don’t have the resources to fend off their ad blitz, the GOP could tip the balance of this race and completely drown us out.

This team has never let me down before, which is why I’m coming to you now. Please, if you have a few dollars to spare, I really need you to chip in to my campaign so we can handle whatever comes next.

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.
