frustrated

Before you click away: On September 30, Sherrod Brown faces his most important fundraising deadline of the entire election cycle.

We are legally required by the FEC to report our numbers publicly. Billionaire donors and outside lobbyists are going after our movement, and spending is reaching $250 MILLION – more than any other state in the country (including Texas, Alaska, New Hampshire, and North Carolina)

Will you donate to help Sherrod reach his critical $2M goal?

Hi, this is so frustrating.

A new poll is out from Bowling Green, and even though it shows that Sherrod is neck and neck with Jon Husted, most Ohioans believe Republicans will win this seat anyway.

Why? The painful truth is they see how much the GOP is investing in this race, and they’re being inundated with Husted's messaging…

National Republicans are spending more in Ohio than any other state in the country. They have made it abundantly clear that Sherrod Brown is their #1 target: just last week, a bunch of crypto billionaires dumped $30 million into Ohio to stop Sherrod and now total spending against Sherrod is reaching over $250 million.

We get it. All this spending can make it seem like there can’t possibly be any hope to win this race.

We’re here to tell you to keep the faith. Don’t bet against this race yet.

Because we have what the GOP doesn't: a grassroots team that will stand up and fight for the future they believe in. That scares them.

A group of folks who see right through the lies and scams Husted is trying to sell and refuse to accept it? A leader in Sherrod Brown who isn’t afraid of a tough fight? That's the GOP's nightmare.

Ohio isn’t just our path to flipping the Senate – it’s our path to ensuring working families get a fair shot and a voice in Washington.

We can prove to the GOP we have what it takes to win, and the best way to do that is to post the strongest fundraising numbers possible at the end of this month.

This is the last time our quarterly numbers will be made public before Election Day. If we don’t release strong numbers, outside spenders will take it as a clear sign to pull funds out of other states so they can defend Ohio’s Senate seat for Republicans.

So we set our most ambitious goal yet: to raise $2,000,000 by Sept. 30. That’s $2 million in three days so we can fend off the historic amounts that Republicans are pouring into Ohio.

Thanks to a generous group of supporters, the first $1M will be MATCHED. We can reach this goal, as long as everyone reading this email steps up. Please, will you rush $5 now to help us meet this goal and flip Ohio’s Senate seat?

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.

If you'd like to receive exclusive updates from my team, you can text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you.
