We can’t let this become a one-sided fight

Hi there, it's Sherrod Brown reaching out urgently.

My opponent just started airing his first attack ad against me. His super PAC is spending over a million dollars to plaster the airwaves here in Ohio and mislead swing voters.

We need to respond right away.

So my team is launching an emergency rapid-response goal to raise $200,000 so we can get our own ads on the air ASAP and fight back. I need you with me, team:

CONTRIBUTE

The GOP has made it clear that defeating our campaign is their top priority.

Poll after poll proves we have a serious shot at winning in Ohio and The Cook Political Report has moved this race in my favor twice. On top of that, Senate Republicans' biggest super PAC announced their largest cash infusion of the year will be in Ohio. Now, my opponent is launching ads of his own – much earlier than we expected.

The harsh reality is if we don’t respond today, persuadable voters will only be seeing these misleading ads against us. That will put our chances of flipping this seat in serious jeopardy.

We can’t let this become a one-sided fight. The only way we can stay competitive in this race is by getting on even financial footing. So I need you to chip in – even $5.

Look - $5 might not sound like the kind of money that can fend off $80 million in GOP spending. But together, it all adds up. And by the time you’re reading this, someone else has already made their first contribution.

Will you step up with $5 (or whatever you can give right now) to help us reach our $200K emergency goal and get our own ads up and running?

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.
