Just heard from Patrick, my campaign manager

Hi, I just got a text from my campaign manager, Patrick. He told me that even though we're only three days into August, we're already pacing way behind where we were at this point in July.

I know, we just closed out a strong month. But that's how fast this turns.

Here's the thing nobody tells you about August: It’s by far the hardest month to fund a grassroots campaign. Everybody's outside – at the lake, at the fair, catching a Guards game. I understand – that's exactly how a summer should be!

But our campaign doesn't get to slow down right now. If anything, we need to ramp up. We've got to keep our TV ads on the air, get more organizers knocking doors across all 88 counties, and keep reaching the voters who are deciding this thing.

National Republicans are spending millions in Ohio in the middle of August, betting that nobody's paying attention.

But let me make one thing clear: The GOP might outspend us in this race, but they will never outwork us. If we keep reaching Ohioans with our message, the polls show we have a clear path to victory.

So I'm asking: Will you donate $5 or more to power our movement, flip Ohio, and win back the Senate?

DONATE

Thanks so much.

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.
