> Good morning!

> Nancy and I want to invite you to an event at our home to meet Ted Strickland, who is running for the US Senate in Ohio.  The event is from 6pm-7:30pm on Tuesday, November 10.  Details are in the attached invitation, along with suggested contribution levels.

> As you may know, Ted was the governor of Ohio from 2006 to 2010.  And, more recently, he was the President of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, where I had great pleasure of working with Ted on a daily basis.  He’s a fantastic leader, a great boss, and simply an outstanding person.
> 
> Ted is running against incumbent Republican Senator Rob Portman — and recent polls show Ted is running even or slightly ahead of Senator Portman.  A lot of folks say Senator Portman is a nice guy — and I’m sure he is.  But, he’s also the guy who is very unpopular in his home state because, among other things, he:
> - opposes increasing the federal minimum wage;
> - opposes President Obama’s Clean Power Plan to address climate change; and,
> - voted against the Manchin-Toomey bill to expand gun background checks.
> 
> Ted would go the other way on all these issues.  As governor, Ted passed landmark state laws expanding renewable energy and energy efficiency in Ohio, capped tuition hikes at Ohio universities, and worked across the board to put in place policies to help Ohio’s working families.
> 
> So… please help us help Ted.  And, please join us on November 10!!!

> We very much hope to see you,
> Arkadi & Nancy
