I know you’re likely getting a ton of emails from candidates and causes right now, John.

But I have to ask: Is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in $20 between No Dem Left Behind and my Senate campaign in Ohio ahead of our first end-of-quarter FEC deadline?

What if I told you that right after I joined this race, experts at The Cook Political Report increased our odds of winning?

What if I told you that CNN and The New York Times report that Ohio is “in play” – but that corporate special interests are gearing up to spend millions against me?

What if I told you that misleading attack ads have already hit the airwaves – and that whether we’re able to counter these smears and reach voters with the truth depends on people like you?

This grassroots, small-dollar donor movement is our best chance to flip Ohio’s Senate seat. But we’re facing an uphill battle, and I need folks like you by my side to win.

So please, split $20 or more between No Dem Left Behind and me before the end-of-quarter FEC deadline to power our campaign forward, win in Ohio, and keep up the fight for working people.
