Hi, the Supreme Court just issued the worst ruling for campaign finances since Citizens United and changed the playing field for the rest of our election. |
I’m alarmed. Angry. Worried about what comes next. But I’m also reminded of just how important this Senate race is – and what could happen to our country if we fail to win it this November. |
Let me be very clear: The reason we have an ultra-conservative majority on the Supreme Court right now is because of President Trump and his Republican allies in the Senate. |
Trump always set out to stack the Court with justices who would help him rewrite our laws for the benefit of billionaires and corporations – and the Republican Senate majority has bent the knee, ready to confirm his judicial nominees who promise to do exactly that. |
Now, they’re making the American people pay the price. This latest Republican power grab gives the big donors who fuel the Republican party even more power in races like ours. They’ve already committed over $100 million against me, and that amount is about to skyrocket. |
I know that at times like this, it’s easy to feel hopeless – like we have no power to change anything at all. But the opposite is true. We have an incredible opportunity to change the course of our democracy and flip the Senate, and it lies right here in Ohio. |
With experts saying that this race could decide Senate control, a win here would mean taking back the majority. Regaining control of the judicial nominee process. Undoing the harm that Trump and Republicans have caused and pushing for more, for better. |
And given that there are reports coming out about potential Supreme Court retirements over the next two years, the stakes truly couldn’t be any higher. |
So today, I’m asking you to turn your anger into action and make a donation to my grassroots campaign. This is the most consequential Senate race in the country – one I can win, but only if I have folks like you by my side. Please chip in. |
Thanks for being on this team.

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.
