Huge disadvantage

Hi,

I’m sure you didn’t have “make your first donation to Sherrod Brown’s campaign” on your to-do list for today. But I want to tell you why it’s worth adding.

Our race here in Ohio – the race that could decide Senate control – is at a tipping point.

Polling shows me slightly ahead of Republican Jon Husted.

Experts continue to shift this race further in our direction, with two separate nonpartisan groups recently moving us to a Toss Up.

And thousands of new supporters are joining our grassroots movement by the day. Seriously, by the time you’re reading this today, 2,102 folks have taken a step to join this team.

But here’s where we’re currently at a huge disadvantage: money.

Husted and dark-money GOP super PACs are pouring $83 million into this race to run misleading attack ads against me and crush our hard-fought momentum. They know that we’re on the verge of flipping this seat – and if we do, we can flip the Senate.

So today, I’m asking you to chip in $5. We need the resources to fight back right now – not weeks or months from now when we might already be overtaken by the GOP’s spending and attacks.

Will you give $5 for the first time today to win in Ohio and take back the Senate? Your donation will be put to work immediately to help us keep our ads on the air, fuel voter outreach efforts, and respond to the GOP’s attacks.

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

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to wake up the day after Election Day wishing we’d done more when we had the chance. Thank you for chipping in what you can today.

Sherrod Brown

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.
