Most expensive Senate race in U.S. history

Hi, we’re worried.

In 2024, Sherrod’s Senate race here in Ohio broke the record for most expensive non-presidential race in U.S. history. Now, this current contest looks to be no different – it could even shatter that record.

Just like in 2024, outside spending groups and GOP super PACs are flooding this race with millions of dollars – bringing total attack ad spending against Sherrod to $83 million. National Republicans have zeroed in on Sherrod as a top target, because they know that our path to taking back the Senate majority runs right through this battleground state.

A new poll shows that we can win this fight – but not if we don’t have the critical grassroots resources we need to compete against this surge in dark money. That’s why we’re asking today:

Will you chip in $5 or more to help us defeat the Republican special interests trying to buy this seat, flip Ohio for working people, and take back the Senate?

Together, let’s show the country that Ohio is not up for sale.

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

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.

Thank you.
