Annie Comes Home: Pummeled.

Pummeled.

Unfortunately, I just got a call from my campaign manager, and let me be blunt: National Republicans are pummeling me.

The Senate GOP’s top super PAC was already spending over $70 million in Ohio – and they just dropped $8.4 million more to flood the airwaves with attack ads against me right before early voting starts.

I huddled with my finance team, and one thing is clear: With less than 20 days until in-person voting begins, we need today to be our strongest grassroots fundraising day yet. If that's all you need to hear, please rush a donation.

RUSH A DONATION

Here’s the good news. Against all odds, this grassroots team put Ohio in play. We’ve shown the GOP exactly what this movement is made of: thousands of folks ready to un-rig the system and put working families first. The GOP has seen our momentum, and they’re scared.

Republicans know that if we lose Ohio, we lose our shot at taking back the Senate majority.

It’s why Elon Musk, billionaire Peter Thiel, and corporate special interests are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to keep Jon Husted in the Senate – and it’s why Senate Republicans are pouring millions more behind baseless attack ads in the final stretch.

I need your help. I don’t have (or want) a bunch of corporate billionaire donors I can call up and ask for money. I count on grassroots supporters like you.

I promise I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important. But this is as important as it gets. We cannot let these attacks go unanswered so close to Election Day.

So if you care about taking back the Senate this November and returning power to the people, will you chip in a donation of $5 to help us fight back against the GOP and win in Ohio?

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

I'm so appreciative of this team. Thank you.

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.
