an explanation

Friend, in a moment, we're going to ask you to make your first donation to Sherrod Brown's Senate campaign in Ohio. Please let us explain why your support – right here, right now – is so incredibly important.

Here's the truth:

In less than 72 hours, we close the books on the final FEC fundraising deadline of the year.

After this deadline, we'll be required to report how much money we've raised and how many donations we've received. Everyone – political pundits, our opponent, and corporate special interest groups – will be watching to gauge the strength of our grassroots movement.

But even more critically, we'll need to take stock of our numbers to date and make tough spending decisions for 2026.

Will we be able to make the early investments we KNOW are key to flipping this seat?

Will we be able to reach more persuadable and infrequent Ohio voters ASAP – or will we let the GOP get to them first?

To be fully transparent, we don't have the resources we need right now to answer these questions confidently. That's why this FEC deadline is so important – and why we have to hit our $250,000 goal before it comes to an end.

So please, will you chip in your first $5 to help us meet our crucial goal and start the election year in the strongest position possible? Our grassroots campaign relies on the support of everyday folks like you – and right now, Sherrod needs you to join our fight.
