glitch

Hi, I've been stressed all morning.

Lexie, my finance director, broke the news to me that we missed our end-of-quarter fundraising goal last night. We came up short by thousands of dollars – and it's looking like the glitch with our Facebook ads is what put us in the hole.

I know you know there's a lot riding on this race, so I wanted to reach out and ask if you could chip in $5 to help us close the gap. We simply can’t start October behind – not with early in-person voting beginning next week and thousands of voters left to reach.

I'll be brutally honest: We're in a tight spot. A recent poll shows me TIED with Jon Husted – and the resources we need to surge ahead will be the difference between winning and losing on Election Day.

Our daily fundraising goals soar from here on out. That means that today, we don’t just need to meet our new daily target – we have to dig ourselves out to get back on track.

Lexie and I crunched the numbers, and here’s the plan: If four (yes, 4) grassroots donors from your area pitch in $5 right now, we can restore our budget. It’s that simple. I’m really hoping you’ll be one of those four.

Please, will you chip in $5 or more now to help us raise what we need to keep surging ahead and win in Ohio?

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.
