I’m about to hop on a call with Sherrod, but need to fill you in real quick

It's Lexie, Sherrod Brown's finance director.

I hate to say this: We have a serious situation on our hands.

We just learned that one of National Republicans' largest dark money groups is diverting $28 million to Ohio. I'm launching an emergency response fund to help Sherrod fight back, so please chip in if you can.

DONATE

Here's the what we know:

The group is called One Nation, and they're affiliated with GOP Senate leadership. The thing is, they raise and spend unlimited, often anonymous funds. That means any number of wealthy individual donors, special interest groups, or large corporations could be buying political power by trying to flood this race with outside cash.

This is exactly the rigged system that Sherrod is working to dismantle. He and I have discussed running his campaign the right way – where we count on hundreds of thousands of regular people chipping in – and not like our opponent, who relies on an Epstein co-conspirator, dark money super PACs, and special interest groups cutting massive checks.

Sherrod is bearing the brunt of Republican spending because Ohio is the domino that will give Democrats the Senate.

And since Jon Husted is uniquely vulnerable for defeat, the GOP establishment is coming to his rescue. With One Nation's $28 million, Republican groups have now committed to spend $131 million in Ohio, and trust me, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm about to hop on an emergency call with Sherrod and my team to figure out our next move, but the best thing you can do to help us respond is by rushing a donation. Truly, we rely on folks like you supporting our effort, and Sherrod and I need you now more than ever:

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

We can overpower this.

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.

If you'd like to receive exclusive updates from my team, you can text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you.
