Annie Comes Home: Only 21%

Only 21%

Folks,

We know we’ve sent more emails than usual lately, and we don’t usually like to reach out so early, but it’s primary day here in Ohio, and we need your help.

We’ve set a $1 million fundraising goal to power through the primary and start the general election in the strongest position possible – and if everyone reading this email chips in $5, we’ll be able to reach it and stay on track to win.

But not everyone can or will donate, so we’re counting on people who truly understand the stakes of this race to come through. Please, will you give $5 now?

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

With experts at The Cook Political Report recently shifting Ohio’s Senate race further in our direction, our chances of flipping this seat just got a huge boost.

Now, National Republicans are panicking. The GOP’s top super PAC is pouring $80 million into this race – more than any other Senate race in the country – and Republican Jon Husted’s super PAC is up with attack ads smearing Sherrod’s name.

The only way we can fight back is by building a massive grassroots movement. That means no one can sit this one out.

So far, only about 21% of the folks who donated to our campaign last quarter have chipped in this quarter. All eyes are on Ohio, and we can’t let our momentum come to a standstill right as we head into the most crucial phase of this race.

That’s why we have to ask: Will you chip in your first donation to help us win in Ohio and flip the Senate? You’re one of our most engaged supporters, but you haven’t given to our campaign yet. Sherrod needs you to take the next step today.

DONATE

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

(P.S. If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support.)

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.
