Worried, but not for the reasons you might think

Time is ticking:

We're just under one month out from Election Day, and the pressure is on. But not for the reasons you might think…

The truth is: I don’t want to let you down.

You are the heart of this campaign. Since the very beginning, this grassroots team has made it possible to compete with massive spending from special interests. You’ve proven that when working people come together, we can win:

When Peter Thiel dropped $3.6 million against me in a single week, you helped keep our own ads live.
When JD Vance personally attacked me, you stood by me and helped this campaign surge ahead.
And when crypto billionaires decided to put $30 million behind new attack ads spreading lies about me, you helped us fight back.

But this race is far from over.

All eyes are on Ohio, and the money continues to pour in. In fact, Republican megadonors are spending more here than in Georgia, Alaska, and North Carolina combined. Let that sink in.

I’m not sharing this to scare you – the polls keep proving that we have what it takes to win – but I’m writing this to remind you just how important you are to this movement.

In the face of a quarter of a BILLION dollars being spent by Republicans in Ohio, our campaign has been able to stay competitive only because of grassroots donations from folks like you. And right now, I need you to have my back more than ever.

My past races have taught me that this close to Election Day, resources are what allow a candidate to pull ahead. So we cannot give the GOP an inch.

Today, I’m asking you to chip in your first $5 to my campaign. I’m counting on you. Will you give what you can to help us flip Ohio and take back the Senate?

Thank you for keeping us in this fight,

Sherrod Brown

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.
