Annie Comes Home: Things are changing on a dime

Things are changing on a dime

Things are changing on a dime here in Ohio.

Last month, a poll showed me leading Republican Jon Husted by 8 points.

After that, election experts at Sabato’s Crystal Ball shifted this race further in our direction – officially re-ranking Ohio as a “Toss Up.”

Now, one of the latest polls shows my lead shrinking to just 3 points. And even newer polling has us DOWN 3 points.

I know better than to trust every single poll I see. But the truth is, this trend is worrying.

With Senate control at stake in this race, National Republicans are coming after me with everything they’ve got. GOP spending has surged to over $100 million, and dark-money super PACs are absolutely flooding the zone with attack ads.

This polling gap will continue to shrink unless folks like you help us replenish our grassroots resources immediately. So please, will you make a well-timed donation of $5 today so we can surge ahead, flip Ohio, and take back the Senate?

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

It means a lot to have you by my side in this fight.

Thank you,

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.
