John, this is alarming:

First, Politico reported our Democratic Senate majority could hinge on winning in Ohio.

Then, multiple outlets, including FiveThirtyEight and NBC News, ranked me as one of the most vulnerable incumbents on the ballot. 

Now, The Cook Political Report is calling this race a TOSS-UP – and I urgently need your grassroots support to protect this must-win seat.

My midnight deadline is coming up, and I'm counting on your help to reach my $50,000 goal so I can prove the pundits wrong, win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority. Please, John, will you split $5 or more now between me and Kirsten Gillibrand?

I've been in quite a few races, and I know we can win this one – but it's going to take all of us, John. Thank you for being on my team.
