I wanted you to see this

I wanted to make sure you saw the news: I’m officially the Democratic nominee and facing off against Jon Husted for Ohio’s Senate seat.

I am so grateful to everyone who has devoted their time, energy, and money to this grassroots campaign. Because of you, Ohio is in play, and we have a strong shot at flipping this seat and the Senate.

But the truth is, this is going to be a tough race.

Experts agree that Ohio is one of the most likely seats to flip this year, and it’s the key state in our path to retaking the Senate. That's why National Republicans are dumping millions into Ohio to stop our movement – and they’re about to unleash a new wave of attacks.

I’ll have more to say soon about our strategy for the general election, but in the meantime, I have to ask for your support. The stakes just got higher, and I need you to have my back.

Will you chip in $5 now to stand with me? Any donation will make a difference in this new phase of our race – no matter the amount.

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.
