Annie Comes Home: Donations have taken a nosedive.

Donations have taken a nosedive.

Hi, I'm sorry to be sending this, but I have no cards left to play.

With time running out before our mid-month deadline, grassroots donations have taken a nosedive. So I’m calling on top supporters like you, who truly understand the stakes of this race, to chip in $5 to help us get back on track.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to make a donation to our campaign, the time is now. Can I count on you?

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

In the span of just months, this team has not only put Ohio's seat, but the entire Senate majority, in play.

That’s why National Republicans are coming after our campaign as the top target for defeat. Dark money groups are pouring $133 million into attacks to turn voters against me – and right now, it's putting our momentum on the chopping block.

So today, we have two options: We either need 500 more folks than usual to chip in than we usually see or we need the folks already planning on chipping in to give a little more.

On any other day, I’d ask folks making their first donation to give just $5. Today, will you donate $10, or even $15, so I can close our $308,549 budget gap before midnight tomorrow, win in Ohio, and retake the Senate?

Thank you.

Sherrod Brown

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.
