alarm bells

Donald Trump must be held accountable.

Yesterday, I introduced a War Powers Resolution to stop him from dragging our country into any further international conflict without congressional approval.

Right now, Senate Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to hold Trump in check, but for real oversight, we need control of the Senate. As Senate Democrats’ chief campaign officer, I have a multi-state plan to flip the seats we need to take over control of the Senate, but it only works if we raise $20,000 by midnight. If you’re with me, chip in $15 to help flip the Senate and finally hold Trump accountable for his senseless wars.

CHIP IN $15: CHECK TRUMP & FLIP THE SENATE →

Look, Donald Trump’s trigger-happy approach to war is putting troops in harm’s way, raising prices at the pump, and violating federal law. But he doesn’t give a damn.

From unauthorized military strikes in Venezuela to escalating the war in Iran, the administration is acting outside legal bounds, answering to no one, and launching high-stakes military actions without Congress’s approval or consent.

Our country was built on a system of checks and balances to prevent any one person from holding unchecked power over war and peace, but right now, those guardrails are being tested.

I introduced a War Powers Resolution to show Senate Republicans that Democrats will not look the other way as they trample our Constitution.

But without control of the Senate, our hands are tied. So, this November, we must flip the Senate to actually hold Trump accountable for his unlawful wars. Will you chip in $15 before midnight to help us reach our $20,000 fundraising goal and ensure we have the cash we need to take back control of the Senate?

urgent meeting

Hey there – it's Sherrod's campaign manager, Patrick, with a serious update in Ohio:

New: The Cook Political Report now rates the OH Senate race as: Toss-Up

That's right. The Cook Political Report just shifted this race in our direction, and now Ohio is officially a “Toss Up.” This race is kicking into high gear, and we need all hands on deck to flip this seat. If you're able to supercharge our momentum, please chip in today.

DONATE

Here's where we stand…

National Republicans are dead-set on beating us: They selected us as their top target when we launched this campaign. Trump has already visited Ohio and personally attacked Sherrod. And just recently, Senate Republicans' dark-money super PAC announced they're sending their largest cash infusion of the midterms straight to Ohio to the tune of $79 MILLION.

But here’s what I have to say: Bring. It. On.

There's no denying that this is a tough race, but with you on board, we have the better team and the energy on our side.

> We've clawed our way from "Likely R" → "Lean R" → "Toss Up" (that's two rating changes in Sherrod's direction) in the few months since Sherrod launched his campaign.

> Jon Husted is the most vulnerable Republican on the map, and poll after poll proves Sherrod is gaining traction.

> Over 100,000 supporters – teachers, nurses, farmers, truck drivers – have already joined this fight, and we're not stopping anytime soon.

Being in the Toss Up category is only going to escalate the Republican money, attention, and attacks against Sherrod's campaign. It's going to take every one of us stepping up – and I'm asking you to answer the call:

We set a goal to raise another $250K to kick off our next phase of campaign buys, and we need your help to get there. Will you be a difference maker and rush $5 to help us fight back and keep our campaign moving in the right direction?

Campaign Manager

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Personal message from Sherrod: I didn’t plan on running for office again.

But when I saw how these guys in Washington are only looking out for their billionaire friends and special interests, I knew I had to get back in the fight.

This grassroots movement is about fighting back against a rigged system that benefits the wealthy and well-connected, while working people pay the price.

And we’ve got momentum: Experts increased our odds of winning and officially named Ohio as a key Senate race to watch, and two new polls show we have a slight lead over our opponent.

But I need your help: Corporate special interests have already spent millions attacking me with misleading ads. The only way we can fight back and win in Ohio is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you.

If you're with me, please chip in any amount today. If you'd like to become one of my TOP supporters and receive exclusive updates from our campaign team, text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you for standing with me.

the biggest target

We're running out of time.

Our pre-primary FEC deadline is tomorrow at midnight, and we’re still short of our critical $1 million goal.

That’s a problem, especially because:

Cook Political shifted Ohio's race in Sherrod's direction for the second time – now calling it a TOSS UP.

Senate Republicans have made Ohio their top target, promising to spend $79 million to defeat us.

A new poll shows Sherrod trailing Jon Husted by just one point.

Because of this unusual deadline, we’re the only battleground filing a public report right now.

All eyes are on Ohio. If we show any sign of slowing down, National Republicans will take it as their signal to invest even more resources into propping up Husted’s campaign.

Polls and race changes don’t win elections – hard work does. So we have to put our money where our mouth is to help Sherrod pull off this historic upset.

Our report tomorrow is a huge test of this team’s strength, and we need your help to post the strongest number possible.

Will you rush $5 now to help us reach our $1 million goal before midnight tomorrow and help us win this toss-up race? It’s not about how much you give, but that you’re contributing at all.

Where you come in

It’s Sherrod Brown. I’m about to log off for the night, but I wanted to send you one more message about the critical developments we’re seeing in Ohio’s Senate race.

This morning, election analysts at The Cook Political Report moved my race in Ohio to their “TOSS UP” category.

This isn't a decision they make lightly, folks. But they can't ignore what's happening on the ground in Ohio. The energy behind this campaign is unlike anything I've seen, and it’s because of what we’re building together.

Folks from all walks of life can see how much is at stake this year – and just how much rides on winning Ohio’s Senate seat too. Teachers, truck drivers, nurses, construction workers – you name it. They’re all taking a stake in this movement, and it takes my breath away.

I hope I’ve made this team proud, because I’m beyond proud of what we’ve already done together. Because of you, we are on track to win this race.

But here’s the thing: Senate Republicans can see this energy too, and they’re going to try to buy their way to Senate control. And just this week, they announced they’re spending $79 million on TV ads against me – more than any other state in the country.

That’s why my team and I set a goal to raise an extra $250K so we can book our own TV ad time early and carve out an advantage in what is going to be one of the most competitive Senate races in the country.

So I’m asking you humbly if you can support my campaign by making a contribution of any amount. Any amount – even $1 or $5 – adds up.
