not the email I want to write

Hey, friend – it's Sherrod. This isn't the email I wanted to write, but I really have no other choice. Unfortunately, a brand-new poll shows me neck and neck with my millionaire GOP opponent. So my team just set an urgent daily goal to raise $50,000 to make sure we have the resources we need to fight back and pull ahead. But if we fail to reach this, we could fall behind, right as the general election race starts. [So please, friend, will you rush $5 right now to help me reach my daily goal, take the lead, and win in Ohio?]( [CONTRIBUTE $5]( Look, winning this race will be anything but easy: Mitch McConnell has personally named me a top target for defeat – and my GOP opponent is writing himself multi-million dollar checks to try and buy this seat. My campaign relies on $5 donations, not million-dollar checks, friend. Now, I'm proud of that, but it also means I need folks like you chipping in what you can, when you can, to power our campaign to victory. So if I'm going to surge ahead in the polls, I need everyone reading this email to help me reach my fundraising goal now. [I know you care about keeping this seat blue and defending our razor-thin Senate majority, so I'm counting on you to make your first gift: Will you rush $5 or more right now to help me hit my goal and win in Ohio?]( Please use the links in this email to start a monthly donation through ActBlue: [CONTRIBUTE $5 NOW]( [CONTRIBUTE $25 NOW]( [CONTRIBUTE $50 NOW]( [OTHER AMOUNT NOW]( Thanks for chipping in. – Sherrod Please read on for a personal message from Sen. Sherrod Brown: Friend – thank you for being a part of our grassroots movement and for sharing our commitment to the Dignity of Work. Fighting for workers means building an economy that prioritizes the needs of workers over tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. No matter who you are or what kind of work you do, I promise to fight for you. But I need your help: Experts say I'm one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection and Senate control could come down to Ohio. The only way we can defend this critical seat is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you. [If you're with me in this fight, please chip in any amount today to win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority.]( If you’d like to become one of my TOP supporters and receive exclusive updates from our campaign team, text “OH” to 44105.
