Need to be candid with you

It’s true, we know you’ve been getting a lot of emails from us.

But it’s for good reason.

Ohio is the most important, competitive, and expensive Senate race in the country. It is the tipping point: If we lose, we can say goodbye to any chance we have of taking back the Senate majority.

That’s why the GOP is spending over $250 million to defeat Sherrod and crush our grassroots movement. They’re spending more here than they are in Georgia, Alaska, and North Carolina COMBINED.

And candidly, the only way we can fight back against their attacks is with your support. The overwhelming majority of our fundraising comes from folks like you chipping in to emails like this.

If you care about taking back Ohio and flipping the Senate, Sherrod is counting on you to make a donation today.

National Republicans know what’s on the line, so they’re doing and spending whatever it takes to keep Ohio in their hands.

This is the state where Elon Musk went up with his first TV ad of the midterm elections – propping up Jon Husted and attacking Sherrod. It’s where JD Vance recently kicked off his final nationwide campaign tour to rally the GOP ahead of November. This is where the top cryptocurrency super PAC just made a $30 million investment – its biggest investment of the cycle.

Sherrod doesn’t stand a chance against these billionaires and dark-money groups unless all of us have his back. We know these emails can be a lot. But hopefully, you understand why they’re so critical – and see them as a small price to pay to flip this seat and send a fighter like Sherrod to the U.S. Senate.

So please, will you chip in to our campaign today? The amount doesn’t matter nearly as much as the contribution itself. It adds up fast when we’re all pitching in together.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

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.
