Trump is about to dump millions into battleground states

This is serious.

In an Oval Office press conference, Donald Trump pledged to pour "probably $400, $500 million" into the midterms.

That's half a billion dollars from Trump alone.

And his spending just started hitting us today – he’s already thrown $11.1 MILLION into Ohio to defeat Sherrod and keep his loyal enabler, Jon Husted, in the Senate.

Our grassroots team needs to understand the reality on the ground. Ohio is the most competitive Senate race in the country, and now the big money is coming – and we don’t expect it to stop. That's why we're urgently asking: Will you chip in $5 or more right now to help Sherrod win in Ohio?

CHIP IN

Here's what's happening:

Trump has been sitting on a massive warchest, and now he's starting to spend it. The floodgates are open. His super PAC just made its first general election spend of the cycle, and he's made clear there's a lot more than $11.1 million on its way.

It’s critical that we fight back right now against this onslaught of MAGA money. But right now we're behind on our own fundraising for September, and there's really not that much time left to make up ground. Will you chip in $5 right now to help us get back on pace and flip this 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.

Thank you.
