The push toward Election Day is underway

Ken Burns here.

I'm reaching out to you today because Sherrod Brown is facing Donald Trump's handpicked candidate, Jon Husted, and the full force of the Republican establishment in his fight to flip Ohio's Senate seat.

If that's all you need to hear, please make a generous donation of $5 to help Sherrod maintain his narrow lead in the polls and win:

You might have heard me say that history is often shaped by small margins. My decades of telling America's stories have demonstrated this truth time and time again.

Ohio's Senate race will be no different. But the implications will be massive:

What happens in Ohio will be the difference between having a voice for working Americans or a voice only for the richest among us in the United States Senate. It'll be the difference between a Democratic majority or a Republican majority. It'll be the difference between being able to block Trump's nominees or being at the mercy of Republicans who refuse to buck the president.

Winning Ohio's seat and flipping the Senate majority is well within our reach. Election experts at The Cook Political Report are calling this a Toss Up – and polls also show this will come down to the wire.

National Republicans know the stakes of this race… it's why they're diverting the most resources toward Ohio – toward stopping Sherrod – and they've already pledged to spend $81 million. They could spend a lot more in the months to come.

I'm proud to stand beside Sherrod Brown and do everything I can to help elect him – and I sincerely hope you'll join me. If you're able, please chip in $5 to help him win his toss up race and take back the Senate for Democrats.
