To all those who want to win in Ohio and flip the Senate – please don’t delete this email.

Hi, this message is for supporters of Sherrod Brown for U.S. Senate. We hope you’ll take a moment to read it to the end.

When Sherrod decided to run for Senate, he made a decision to build this campaign the right way: powered by grassroots support.

We’re proud that folks from all 88 Ohio counties, and working people across the country, have chipped in. These aren’t ultra wealthy political insiders – they’re teachers, farmers, truck drivers, retirees, nurses, parents, and people like you who care deeply about the future of this country.

But running a campaign this way also means we depend on grassroots supporters more than campaigns that are bankrolled by corporate interests. In fact, the bulk of our fundraising comes from folks chipping in to emails exactly like this one.

And right now, we need that support more than ever.

You already know that Senate control will come down to Ohio, which is why National Republicans have made Sherrod their top target. They’re spending $133 million to defeat us and keep Jon Husted in the Senate. JD Vance was in Ohio last week attacking Sherrod by name, and Elon Musk also committed to spending big in this race too.

We know we ask a lot of you. But we’re getting down to the wire, and a recent poll has us down 3 points. We don’t have a giant pile of money sitting around for the final weeks. We urgently need funds to keep our ads on the air, reach undecided voters, and make sure we aren’t drowned out.

That’s why we’re relying on a surge of grassroots donations today. So, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to make a contribution to this campaign, this is it. Can we count on you to chip in $5 to help us flip this seat?

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

Thank you for your support,

Team Sherrod

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.

Thank you.
