This is why billionaires are backing Husted

Just one donation of $5.

That is the donation Sherrod Brown needs you to make to our campaign to help us fill a critical budget gap before our mid-month deadline tomorrow at midnight. We’ll explain more about why it’s so important, but if you can make that donation of $5 right now, please use this link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sherrod-email-q3-2026

As you read this, National Republicans are pummeling Sherrod with over $162 million in misleading attack ads. Elon Musk has committed a massive amount of money to defeat us, far-right billionaire Peter Thiel spent $3.6 million in a single week, and Donald Trump has officially started spending $11.1 million from his war chest on Ohio.

So why are the GOP and their billionaire donors targeting Sherrod? Simple: They KNOW the path to the Senate runs straight through Ohio, and the truth is, Jon Husted just can’t win this thing on his own. He simply doesn’t have the grassroots support or the on-the-ground energy that we do.

He’s relying on dark money from billionaires and super PACs like the Senate Leadership Fund to swoop in and make up the difference when he lags behind.

In a race this close, these ad blitzes can be make-or-break. And right now, we’re being outspent 3:1.

If we have the grassroots resources to fight back, we’ll win. If we don’t, we won’t be able to stay competitive.

Almost all of our donations come from people like you who care about flipping Ohio and the Senate along with it. So if you have a few dollars to spare today, Sherrod Brown needs your help.

Just one donation of $5. That’s what we’re asking for. To send a loud message about what this team is made of. To flip Ohio. To take back control of the Senate.

Please give $5 to Sherrod Brown’s campaign, and it will have an immediate impact in fending off the GOP’s spending spree.

Sherrod Brown for Ohio

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.
