Update re: Dems’ chances in Ohio

This is a critical update:

We have to flip four seats to take back the Senate in less than 80 days – and experts at The Hill say Ohio is one of our best chances to do just that. From the polls and the shifting race ratings, it’s clear that the momentum is behind us and Senator Jon Husted is vulnerable.

But here’s the problem: Since Senate control is at stake in this race, the Republican establishment (made up of far-right super PACs and Husted’s billionaire donors) is swooping in with $133 MILLION to save his campaign and attack ours.

Now, polling is neck and neck – and every dollar will be the difference between surging ahead and losing ground. This race will come down to resources, and we simply cannot stay competitive with the GOP without your urgent grassroots support.

Will you chip in $5 or more today to help us keep up our incredible momentum, flip Ohio’s toss-up seat, and take back the Senate?

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.
