we’re starting September at a disadvantage

Hi, I was just reviewing our latest fundraising report, and I need to be frank with you: We’re tracking behind where we need to be to reach our critical Q3 fundraising goal.

I know it's the beginning of the month, but we’re already starting September at a disadvantage. With just 58 days until Election Day and 30 before ballots start to be mailed, that’s a big problem.

Here’s why: National Republicans are spending over $130 million here, and far-right billionaire Peter Thiel just poured $3.6 million into attack ads against me. At this rate, we’re going to break our own record for the most expensive Senate race in American history.

We need to close this gap before we’re drowned out by all this GOP dark money and it’s too late.

We need to raise $47,839 by midnight to get us back on track, and I don’t have anywhere else to turn. The polls are razor-close, so if you’ve been waiting for the most impactful moment to make a donation, this is it.

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.
