Annie Comes Home: Crypto’s attacks have been blanketing the airwaves. Now, we’re losing ground.

Crypto’s attacks have been blanketing the airwaves. Now, we’re losing ground.

Hi,

I wish I had better news to share with you today, but I’ll just rip the bandaid off. Crypto billionaires started ruthlessly attacking my campaign with $30M, bringing planned GOP spending in Ohio to $238M and counting.

Crypto’s first attacks hit on Tuesday, and a poll of voters from Quantus Insights released this morning shows me TIED 47-47 with my Trump-endorsed opponent, Jon Husted.

I have more to say, but if you’re already with me, I’m personally calling on you to give to my campaign to help us retake the lead:

Most days, Republicans are outspending my campaign 7:1. National Republicans put out a rallying cry for more outside support. And Donald Trump is preparing to come into the state to turn out support for my opponent too.

We’ve been able to hold our ground up until this point. But now, the polls are tightening.

I don’t like asking, but this moment is important. If we don’t take this seriously, we could lose ground with persuadable voters without enough time to correct the course. And don’t forget: Early voting in Ohio starts in just 12 days, which means every day counts for us to spread our message.

It’s no surprise that National Republicans are frantically spending money in Ohio to try and defeat this movement. They’ve seen it work before. In 2024, when crypto launched an ad blitz like this, we didn’t have the resources to respond. We lost.

This is a make-or-break moment for us, and every 1,000 voters we’re able to reach could make the difference. So please, I need your help.

National Republicans and their billionaire donors are looking for where their money can move the needle in this final stretch, and we cannot give them an opportunity to bury us. I have so much faith in this team. Please step up today.

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.
