Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Al Franken (D. MN) in support of former Governor Ted Strickland's (D. OH) U.S. Senate campaign:
My friend Ted Strickland is running for Senate in Ohio. His race will be one of the most watched in 2016. And I need you to know: Ted is one of my MVPs of this election.
But just like any good MVP, he's in a tough fight:

Chris Matthews is calling it the "hottest Senate race in 2016."
Recent polls call it the ONLY toss-up Senate race in a battleground state.
Senator Portman and his allies, including Karl Rove and the Koch brothers, have spent as much as $9.5 million attacking Ted and everything he stands for.

There's no denying it: This is one of the top races in the country. And Ted has a real shot at winning. But first, my MVP needs a big grassroots team behind him to respond to the Koch brothers' attacks.

So here's what I'm asking: Ted's big mid-month fundraising deadline is just 24 hours away. Let's use this opportunity to send a message to the Koch brothers, and send Ted to the Senate where his experience and his bold leadership are so badly needed.

Ted is a progressive champion. As a former congressman and governor, Ted's record of supporting working families, children, and veterans is rock-solid. I need Ted fighting for progress with me in the Senate.

Thanks,

Senator Al Franken
