Folks,

I wrote to you yesterday to let you know we needed to raise $25,000 by midnight tonight to hit our campaign’s first-week goal.

A whole bunch of you stepped up, and we made some serious headway. If you’ve already chipped in this week, thank you.

But we still need to raise about $15,000 today, and I’m asking you to take a stand with us and chip in before midnight.

I’m running for Senate to win big for the millions of American workers who have been left behind by Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republican obstructionists. Time and time again, they’ve blocked us from fixing our health care system and providing relief for the working class folks who need it the most.

That ends now. CNN reports that Ohio’s open Senate seat is one of the most likely seats to flip -- and that means it’s one of our best chances to expand our Democratic Senate Majority.

Our first-week fundraising numbers need to send a message -- McConnell and his dark money buddies will be watching closely. Will you chip in to meet our goal and prove that we’re ready to fight like hell for our working families?

-- Tim Ryan
