Frankly, it’s pathetic

Here’s the thing, Pamela:

Donald Trump and his Republican enablers know that their record is wildly unpopular — the war in Iran, the rollback of reproductive rights, shredding environmental protections, $5 gas…

That’s why they’ve tried every dirty trick in the book to avoid being accountable to the voters. Their strategy: rig enough maps and make it hard enough to vote that they can’t lose. Frankly, it’s pathetic.

But that strategy isn’t working. We can still deliver critical victories for democracy this November.

We’ve endorsed over 300 candidates across 13 states who will stand in the way of Republicans’ anti-democracy schemes. Now we must do everything we can to power them to victory in the next three weeks. Rush a donation today, help elect Democracy Defenders, and help deliver fair maps.

Republicans were NOT able to gerrymander enough maps in enough states to guarantee control of the House this year.

But their plot only failed because we all got in the fight, state by state and district by district.

The sad thing is they’re not done trying to cheat their way into power. We have work to do to ensure that the next Republican power grab fails just as badly as this one.

We have to elect Democracy Defenders to the state-level offices with the most power over redistricting and voting rights. We have to elect governors, state legislators, state supreme court justices, and other leaders who will hold the line for free and fair elections.

This is already one of our most ambitious election cycles yet — you can help make sure it’s our most successful, too. Donate now and support our slate of Democracy Defenders as we race towards Election Day.

Thank you,

The NDRC

The biggest rigged system in America is gerrymandering.

I want to be transparent with you

Hi, I want to take this moment to be truly transparent with you.

I chatted with my finance director, Lexie, and we determined we have to increase our daily goal to $500,000 in this final stretch. We need to raise more money to keep this campaign in fighting shape. Will you help me out with a donation of $5 right now?

Here’s some more context on why I need your help at this exact moment:

The GOP is spending $4 million a DAY against me.

They are flooding the airwaves with ads that smear my record and misrepresent my values. They are sending mailers to voters’ homes to try to tip the scales in Husted’s favor. They are doing whatever it takes to stop us from winning and flipping this seat.

Look, I’ve told you over and over, but this is truly the most expensive race this election season. Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, the Winklevoss twins, crypto super PACs – each one is dumping millions into this race to stop us from winning.

But despite all the cash, we’ve kept this a close race. Everyone counted us out, but with Ohio a true toss-up, and with poll after poll showing me neck and neck with Jon Husted, we can still win this thing. I just need your help to do it.

So today, we have two options: We either need 500 more folks to chip in than we usually see to help us reach our new daily goal of $500,000, or we need the folks already planning on chipping in to give a little more.

On any other day, I’d ask folks making their first donation to give just $5. Today, will you donate $7.50, or even $10, so I can close the gap on my new daily goal before midnight, win in Ohio, and retake the Senate?

Thank you.

Note: This email only reflects donations made online with this email address. If you've made a previous contribution via check or with a different email address/phone number, you may not see it here – but know that Sherrod and our entire team are deeply grateful for your support.

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Hey there! It's Sherrod Brown.

There's nobody fighting for Ohioans in the U.S. Senate right now, and I won't sit on the sidelines while working people get screwed over by large corporations and wealthy political donors.

If you work hard, you should be able to afford a decent life. But the reality is, life is too expensive. Costs are going up. Wages are staying stagnant. Working people are working harder than ever before, and they're not getting their share of the profit.

This campaign is all about changing that – and election analysts say we have a strong shot at winning in November.

But I'll need your help to pull it off: My opponent is a Washington insider being propped up by the Republican establishment, and he's got virtually unlimited resources.

That's not how our campaign works. We're a grassroots movement, and that means we rely on ordinary people chipping in a couple bucks. If you're able, please make a donation of any amount today. It could be what helps us flip Ohio and the Senate.

If you'd like to receive exclusive updates from my team, you can text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you.

This is a VERY big deal:

❯❯ FIGHT BACK ❮❮

The Republican National Committee is launching a massive ad blitz in Iowa’s Senate race, and get this: this is the FIRST Senate race they've spent in EVER!

MAGA was already spending $100 million to try to buy this election. Now the RNC is rushing in for the first time in history to try and rescue my opponent, Ashley Hinson.

The writing is on the wall: Iowa is not a safe red seat anymore.

Our Prairie Populist movement has forced MAGA to work harder and spend more in Iowa than they ever expected.

But I know better than to count my eggs before they hatch. A significant chunk of voters are still undecided, and the RNC’s attack ads could move the needle in my opponent’s direction.

So we need to set the record straight ASAP.

Will you rush a split donation of $5 or even $15 between my campaign and State Democrats Committee so we can respond to this MASSIVE NEWS, fight back on TV and online, and flip this seat in just a few weeks?

Seven races inside three points

Friend, these are the RealClearPolitics Senate polling averages. Look at the margins.

Iowa: +0.6. Maine: +1.3. Alaska: +1.4. Minnesota: +2.2. Texas: +2.6. Michigan: +2.7. Ohio: +3.1. Kansas: tied.

Every one of those races is inside the margin of error. Not one of them is safe. Any of them could move two points in a week and nobody would be surprised.

The race for the Senate is on a knife’s edge. Chip in now to help us win on November 3rd →

DONATE

Now here’s the part that should keep all of us honest.

Look at RCP’s own Senate map in that image: 50 Democrats, 50 Republicans. That is what happens if we win every single race we’re currently leading. And 50 is not a majority, because JD Vance breaks the tie and Republicans keep running the Senate.

Read that again. Winning everything we’re ahead in right now still isn’t enough. We have to win races where we’re tied or behind.

That’s the whole ballgame, and it’s why the next few weeks matter so much. Races this close don’t get decided by who leads in October.

Trump’s super PAC just told reporters it’s pulling money out of races it has written off so it can “unload the tank” in key races. They know exactly where the margin is.

Chip in now to help us close these races in the final days.

Fight back

Hi, it’s Sherrod.

I’m reaching out today to ask you to donate $5 to my campaign, say a decisive NO to Jon Husted and Donald Trump’s agenda for Ohio, and flip the Senate for working families.

(If that’s all you need to hear, here’s the best link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sherrod-email-q4-2026)

If you’re tired of Jon Husted’s failed leadership …

If you’re tired of watching billionaires get tax breaks while the price of groceries, gas, and your electric bill keeps climbing …

If you’re tired of Washington’s priorities always coming before Ohio’s …

This is something you can do today to make a difference. There is a way to fight back.

I never planned to run for office again. But I couldn’t sit on the sidelines and watch these politicians and their wealthy donors keep screwing over the people who make this country work. So I came back, and you stood with me.

Now we are 18 days from Election Day, this race is a toss-up, and every political pundit says there’s a chance this race goes our way. We have to finish the work we started. Working families in Ohio are counting on us.

But I can’t do it alone.

So if you’re tired of the chaos, the corruption, and the nonsense coming out of Washington, I need you to chip in $5 to my campaign today. Together we will win in Ohio and put the needs and priorities of Ohioans back front and center.
