From lost cause to lynchpin

NEW via TIME: Ohio May Be the Sleeper Senate Race of the Midterms

Our grassroots movement is gaining steam.

A new article from TIME not only calls this a “sleeper Senate race” but also says that Ohio could decide which party controls the majority come November.

"... [Brown] is leading in polls in Ohio, which was not too long ago dismissed by Democrats as a lost cause. Now, it may be the lynchpin to Democrats winning the Senate.”

That’s what’s at stake in this race – and that’s why your support is so important. Your gift could singlehandedly help elect Sherrod and win back the Senate for Democrats.

The GOP is DESPERATE to keep their fist clenched on the Senate majority, so dark-money super PACs are pouring over $100 million into this race to halt our momentum and defeat Sherrod. Too much is on the line to sit on the sidelines and let them.

Will you make a donation of $5 or more today to our grassroots campaign so we can win in Ohio and flip the Senate majority?

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

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

Note: This email only reflects donations made online with this email address. If you've made a previous contribution via check or with a different email address/phone number, you may not see it here – but know that Sherrod and our entire team are deeply grateful for your support.

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.
