re: vicious attack ads

Hey there – it's Sherrod Brown. I just made a tough call, and now I need to fill you in.

National Republicans just announced they're unleashing $79 million worth of vicious attack ads against our campaign – right after polls showed me with a one point lead in the race.

So now, we need to air our own TV ads much earlier than planned … otherwise we risk letting our lead slip away. I just gave my team the green light to launch our response early – but now I need your help so we have the resources to pay for them.

To get our ads on the airwaves, we need this to be the biggest day of campaign fundraising yet. Anything short of that will send a message that the GOP can tap their billionaire donors to swing the election in their favor.

I'm depending on folks like you to step up for me today. Please, I’m asking personally: Will you rush an emergency $5 donation to replenish our resources and ensure we can respond to the GOP's cash infusion in Ohio?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thanks for having my back.

Sherrod

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

Personal message from Sherrod: I didn’t plan on running for office again.

But when I saw how these guys in Washington are only looking out for their billionaire friends and special interests, I knew I had to get back in the fight.

This grassroots movement is about fighting back against a rigged system that benefits the wealthy and well-connected, while working people pay the price.

And we’ve got momentum: Experts increased our odds of winning and officially named Ohio as a key Senate race to watch, and two new polls show we have a slight lead over our opponent.

But I need your help: Corporate special interests have already spent millions attacking me with misleading ads. The only way we can fight back and win in Ohio is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you.

If you're with me, please chip in any amount today. If you'd like to become one of my TOP supporters and receive exclusive updates from our campaign team, text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you for standing with me.
