Billionaires and shady PACs

Hi, winning this Senate race just got a lot harder.

In a major campaign finance decision, the Supreme Court recently lifted the caps on coordinated spending between political parties and their candidates – essentially giving billionaires and shady super PACs unlimited spending power in our elections.

That’s a HUGE advantage for Republicans like our opponent, Jon Husted, who relies on megadonors to fund his campaign. In fact, Elon Musk has already announced he’s using his super PAC to funnel massive amounts of cash right into Ohio.

With experts calling Husted one of the most vulnerable senators on the ballot, the GOP is stockpiling cash at a rapid pace to help bail him out and save their Senate majority – and the only way we can fight back is with your critical grassroots support.

So today, we’re asking for $5 – or more – if you can spare it. This toss-up race will come down to resources, and we simply cannot afford to fall behind. Please, will you chip in $5 right now to help us keep up with the GOP, win in Ohio, and flip the Senate?

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

We know this sounds daunting, but all these $5 donations really add up when thousands of folks like you come together and pitch in.

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

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.
