This hasn’t happened in 40 years

Hi, it’s Sherrod. I wanted to make sure you knew what’s happening right now.

👉 Today, Republicans are gathering in Dallas for something we haven’t seen in more than 40 years: A major political party is holding a national convention in the middle of a midterm election.

Donald Trump is speaking tonight, and we know what he’s going to say. He’ll follow the GOP script and try to convince everyone how great his agenda has been for working families.

Ohioans know that's a lie. So before Trump takes the stage tonight, we need to show the strength of this grassroots movement. Will you chip in $5 toward our rapid-response $1 million convention goal and help us flip this seat?

It’s no coincidence that Trump dropped his surprise ad blitz on the first day of his midterm convention. Trump hand selected JD Vance to be his running mate, and then chose Jon Husted to fill Vance’s vacancy. Now that they see this seat is in danger of flipping, they’re panicking.

Trump has already come to Ohio to attack me. And just this morning, he announced he's dropping more than $10 million in attacks. Now he’ll be standing onstage on national TV at a Republican convention designed to boost the most important battleground races heading into November while surely throwing even more insults my way.

Because Ohio is one of those races.

Control of the Senate will come down to what happens here, and the polls are razor-close. So while JD Vance and Donald Trump rally their donors, fire up their base, and fight to protect seats like Husted’s, we need to show them what they’re up against.

We set a goal to raise $1 million before this convention ends tomorrow night. Will you chip in $5 now to help us hit our goal, flip Ohio, and give working people a voice in the Senate?

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.
