I gotta be blunt

Hi, it’s Lexie. Quick question for you: Will you make a donation of $5 to Sherrod’s campaign today?

I don’t mean to be blunt, but I’m looking at the numbers and we’re trending behind where we should be for the month.

We have a 50-50 chance to win in Ohio this November, but it’s going to come down to resources. Republicans are rallying their megadonors and special interest allies to flood this race with millions to stop us from flipping this seat – and we need to go up with more TV ads and expand our on-the-ground operation to reach key voters before they do.

Running and winning this kind of battleground Senate race is expensive, and I need your help right now to get our budget back on track.

So please: If you want to flip Ohio and the Senate, giving $5 to our grassroots campaign today is the best thing you can do. Will you chip in?

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

Thank you,

Lexie
Finance Director, 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.

Thank you.
