Annie Comes Home: Our fundraising took a nosedive

Our fundraising took a nosedive

Folks, our campaign just had a major setback at the worst possible time.

We needed to raise $200,000 over the weekend to afford our next set of ads and meet our fundraising projections. Now, we’re way behind.

Can I count on you to chip in $5 or more to make up lost ground? We can’t waste another second.

Republicans are massively outspending our campaign – and their top super PAC has dedicated more resources to Ohio than any other state in the country. Let that sink in.

They know Ohio is key to the Senate, and their billionaire donors are doing whatever they can to drown our team out and buy this seat for my opponent.

If they successfully drown us out, we will lose this race.

We’re counting on meeting every single one of our fundraising goals from now until the election to keep our ads on the air and respond to Republican attacks, but we’re staring down a serious budget gap that we have to close ASAP.

The good news is that by the time you’re reading this email, thousands of people who care just as much as you do will have chipped in to support this movement we’re building.

If you want to take a step today that will immediately increase our chances of taking back the Senate majority in November and flipping Ohio, please chip in $5 or whatever you can before midnight. It means a lot.

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.
