I need to hear from you today, friend

Friend, election year has officially begun and things are already heating up:

The New York Times reports that Ohio is one of the top Senate races to watch, experts at The Cook Political Report have increased our odds of winning, and recent polls show me leading my Republican opponent by a slim margin.

But this is going to be a marathon, not a sprint, and for our grassroots movement to be successful, it must continue to reflect your priorities, concerns, and hopes for the future.

That's why, today, I need to hear from you directly: Will you share your thoughts in my new Election Year Priorities Survey before midnight?

TAKE THE SURVEY

The momentum behind our campaign is all thanks to folks like you, friend.

You're the reason we're going to win this race and make meaningful progress for working people in Ohio and across the country. There's no doubt in my mind.

So, with corporate special interests ready to do whatever they can to stop me from flipping this seat – including spending hundreds of millions of dollars – I'm relying on your critical insights to fight back and build a system that works for all of us, not just those at the very top.

If there's one thing you do today to help us win this November, I hope it's this: Please take my new survey before the midnight deadline and tell me the issues most important to you.

TAKE THE SURVEY

Thanks for making your voice heard. You have a huge impact on our fight.

Sherrod Brown

One year of Trump

Folks, today marked one year of Trump's Presidency.

In just twelve months, the damage is undeniable.

But in November, we have a chance to check Trump's power and deliver wins for working-class families. Will you chip in $10 before midnight to help Democrats win in November and put a check on Trump's dangerous MAGA agenda?

CHIP IN $10 >>

In one year alone, Trump has:

🔴 Weakened disaster preparedness
🔴 Rolled back environmental protections
🔴 Threatened healthcare access
🔴 Undermined public education
🔴 Put Social Security at risk
🔴 Terrorized immigrant communities

Here's the truth: We must check Trump's power and hold him accountable before the damage is permanent.

The good news? We have recruited the most formidable Senate candidates possible in multiple states, while the GOP has had massive recruiting challenges and tons of divisive primaries.

The single best way to end Trump's disastrous abuses of power is win back the Senate, and we have a clear path to get there.

That's why I'm asking: will you chip in $10 or more today to help us flip the Senate and fight back against Trump's destructive agenda? We need to raise $10,000 before midnight tonight to ensure we have the resources to defeat MAGA Senators across the country >>

Onward,

I've spent my career electing leaders who understand and reflect the communities they represent—which is why I'm so excited to share that I just started as Katie Porter's campaign manager.

As a queer Latina I care a lot about building a reflective democracy, which for me has looked like working to elect more women and people of color. I worked at EMILY's List in the 2018 cycle when we elected record numbers of women across the country—including Katie Porter to Congress!

I'm ready to make history this year when we elect Katie as the first woman governor of California.

But here's the truth: this race will be one of the most closely watched elections in the country, and it's going to take real resources to win.

We're up against a lot—a billionaire who's already spent more than $17 million on ads and multiple Republican opponents.

I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. Will you join me in the fight to elect Katie this year by donating $5 right now? Every single donation will make a difference.

Thank you so much for supporting Katie today.

More soon,

Krystal Ortiz
Campaign Manager

Katie is running to be California's next governor because California and our country need a leader who will stand up to Trump to lower costs, protect our rights, and combat climate change.

Taking stock of a long, difficult year

Well, here we are, friend.

We've officially survived Year One of Trump's second term – so today, I want to take stock of what's gone down since Inauguration Day, and why I still need you with me in this fight.

But first: As one of my most engaged supporters, you already know our best hope of cutting his chaotic, corrupt, and dangerous reign short is by flipping the Senate blue. And, you likely know we'll only succeed if we build the resources to win ahead of time. So before I dive in, will you please rush $5 or more now to help us put a stop to the MAGA Senate majority that rubber stamps Trump's every whim come election night?

Now, let's start with how Trump unleashed chaos from Day One: by letting unelected billionaire Elon Musk and the now-defunct DOGE break the federal government, fill the civil service with loyalist stooges, and push already underfunded agencies to the brink.

Then, from installing an anti-vax conspiracy theorist as our nation's top health care official, to taking an axe to lifesaving biomedical research, the Trump administration systematically put politics over science and public health.

Soon after, Trump and the multi-billionaire former pro-wrestling exec Linda McMahon began working overtime to ABOLISH the Department of Education and pilfer the resources intended to support teachers, families, and students.

All the while, Republicans in Congress refused to stop Trump from unilaterally raising taxes on working families – more than any president in my life – with reckless tariffs that have driven up costs for families across the board.

By July, he and the GOP moved heaven and earth to make billionaire tax cuts permanent, in part by gutting Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs Americans rely on; betraying working families; and exploding the national debt by trillions in turn.

But just this month, Trump – the guy who calls himself "The Peace President" – nearly started a war of choice in Venezuela (without ever notifying Congress) so he and his Big Oil donors might exploit its oil reserves for profit. And he's still playing footsy with the idea of INVADING Greenland.

Amidst all of this, Trump's immigration policies greenlit the use of egregious force and depraved tactics to detain thousands without due process – including U.S. citizens – disappear hundreds, and terrorize communities nationwide.

And less than two weeks ago, the masked goons enacting his cruel mass deportation agenda with impunity brutally shot and killed a citizen in Minnesota.

Each and every day of the past year, Trump has abused his power to line his own pockets with billions, reward his "Big Lie" loyalists, and benefit his billionaire buddies at home and abroad.

So while I've barely scratched the surface, one thing should be crystal clear: Trump spent his first year back in power turning our republic into a government of the crooks, for the crooks, and by the crooks – and he WILL be remembered as the most corrupt president in history.

Now, I know it's been a long, difficult year. But we have to remember that Trump is not all-powerful. And he will not always be in power.

So now more than ever, your voice and your vote MATTER. Because when we all speak out and fight back together, we make a difference.

Let's keep up the fight – and thank you for everything you do,

Patty

👋 WAIT, friend! Before you click away ...

Patty refuses to stand by as the Trump administration sells out working families and sells off our country for parts.

But up against a MAGA Senate majority and its billionaire donors, she won't be able to end the chaos and cruelty without you.

Aside from casting a ballot, the easiest way you can help Patty deliver true accountability is by ensuring she enters the midterms with the grassroots war chest to help flip the majority blue.

So if you can, please make your first donation of $5 today, or any amount that's feasible for you. Thank you.

This is so damn important

Friend, it's James Carville.

I've worked on a heck of a lot of campaigns. Over the past 50 years, I've won – and I've lost – tough elections across the country. So believe me when I tell you:

Sherrod Brown's Senate race in Ohio is SO DAMN IMPORTANT, and the only way he can win it is with YOUR support – right here, right now.

Please chip in every dollar you can spare to Sherrod's campaign. He got back in the fight, and he needs folks like you by his side ASAP.

We're at a critical moment in American history. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. Politicians in D.C. are raising costs, cutting veterans' benefits, closing rural hospitals, adding $3 trillion to our national debt – the list goes on.

We're moving further and further away from being anything close to democracy. It's freakin' absurd!

We have to get our country back on track – and that starts by helping Sherrod Brown win in Ohio.

Sherrod has spent his life fighting for workers and families, and he's got the moral courage to stand up to the powerful special interests that are making life harder and more expensive for everyday people.

But outside spending groups will pour an UNGODLY amount of money into this race to defeat Sherrod (I'm talking hundreds of millions of dollars) – and it's on us to give him the resources to fight back and win.

Folks, if anyone can flip Ohio's Senate seat, it's Sherrod Brown. But he can't do it alone – nobody can: Will you chip in $5 or even $25 right now to power his campaign forward and send him to the Senate?
