Ohio is the battleground of the midterms

New polling: Ohio is a ‘battleground state’ again with Senate, governor’s races

When I saw this headline, I felt really proud.

What we’re building in Ohio is simply incredible, and it has only been possible because of the support of folks like you. Thank you.

Experts from The Cook Political Report to MS NOW are currently calling our battleground race a “Toss Up” – which means every strategic move we make, every vote we earn, and yes, every dollar we raise will be the difference between winning and losing.

So today, I’m asking you to chip in $5 or whatever you can spare to keep powering our movement. GOP dark-money groups and super PACs are launching seven- and eight-figure ad buys to defeat me, and this race is projected to be the most expensive Senate race in history – shattering the record I broke less than two years ago.

Those are tough odds, but together, we can overcome them.

Please, will you make a donation to help us surge ahead in this neck-and-neck race, flip Ohio, and take back the Senate?

Thank you,

Sherrod Brown

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.
