Sorry to be a bit blunt

We have a quick question for you: Will you chip in $5 to Sherrod Brown’s Senate campaign today?

We know that’s a bit blunt, but we wouldn’t be asking if it weren’t so important.

All eyes are on Ohio. The energy powering our grassroots movement is surging – experts at The Cook Political Report recently shifted this race further in our direction for the second time this election cycle, calling it a “Toss Up.”

But now, the GOP is panicking. They’re pouring $81 MILLION into misleading attack ads to crush our momentum – and we need your critical support to fight back.

What happens in Ohio will decide Senate control, so please: Can we count on your $5 donation today? It's going to take all of us to flip Ohio and the Senate.

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

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.

I just wired $1,000,000

$1,000,000.

That’s how much money I wired to get our brand-new ad on the air. It was a big decision, but I don’t regret it because National Republicans are hammering us with attack after attack. But now, I’m facing a massive budget gap and I need your help to make up the difference. Will you chip in $5 right now to keep our ad on the air through the weekend?

DONATE

Experts at The Cook Political Report have now shifted Ohio’s Senate race further in our direction not once, but twice. That’s due to the incredible momentum behind our campaign that you’re helping us build.

But that same progress has put a massive target on our backs. National Republicans are coming after me as a top target to beat this November. They’ve already committed $83 million into this race to blast the airwaves with attack ads smearing my name.

$1 million is a big investment – but I green-lit this new TV ad because we simply cannot let the GOP's lies shape the narrative of our race at this pivotal moment. So please, will you rush $5 or more today to help me close my budget gap, keep reaching voters with our message, and win in Ohio?

Families can’t afford this

Urge Congress to Invest in Early Education. Send a Message

Friend, as the cost of child care continues to rise, many families — especially those in rural communities — are struggling to access affordable early learning programs for their children.

In many areas, childcare and preschool programs are limited or too expensive, leaving children without the support they need during their most critical years of development.

Children from low-income families hear roughly 30 million fewer words by age 3 and can enter school more than 18 months behind their more affluent peers.

Save the Children’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs have been closing the gap. But now, 750,000 kids could lose access to these vital programs without lawmakers’ support.

Friend, every child deserves the chance to succeed.

That’s why our sister organization, Save the Children Action Network (SCAN), is calling on Congress to invest in children’s education.

But we need your help. The more messages we send to Congress, the better chance we have at succeeding. Will you join SCAN and send a message to your lawmakers today?

Save the Children’s early education programs help kids build a strong foundation before they reach kindergarten. From educational play and literacy support to health screenings and nutrition, we’re helping parents kickstart their child’s learning at home.

Last year, we reached 720,259 children across 20 states — that’s 720,259 children who could’ve fallen behind their peers. But these programs are now at risk.

Friend, children’s access to early childhood education must be maintained. Send a message and urge your lawmakers to invest in kids’ futures!

Thanks for taking action,

Save the Children

vanilla soft serve

Look, as we head into summer, there’s nothing better than vanilla soft serve.

No fuss, just on a classic cone.

There’s something about cutting through the noise and keeping it simple that I’ve always appreciated – in my ice cream and in how I approach this fight to flip the Senate blue this November.

So here’s the simple version: Democrats can retake the Senate majority. But I need you and the rest of our grassroots Democrats to help us fuel these battleground campaigns.

Will you chip in $13 before midnight tonight to help me hit my $13,000 daily goal to flip the Senate blue and put a real check on Donald Trump’s power? >>

CHIP IN $13 TO FLIP THE SENATE BLUE >>

In battleground states like Texas, Maine, North Carolina, Alaska, and Georgia, our candidates are fighting tooth and nail to deliver the Senate Majority for Democrats. Experts and polls have our candidates leading or in toss-ups across the country.

But the GOP won’t give up easily. They’re dumping $342 million into these races to hold on.

As the Democrat leading the charge to retake the Senate, I can tell you: our candidates are strong, and everything is breaking our way. But this blue wave won’t make itself – it’ll take organizing, advertising, and voter turnout to get the job done. And those three things require cash (a lot of it).

Every dollar we raise goes directly toward keeping our candidates on the air, our organizers on the ground, and our voters engaged all the way to November.

So before you treat yourself to whatever puts a smile on your face this summer, will you chip in $13 before midnight to help me hit my $13,000 daily goal, flip the Senate blue, and cut Trump’s power two years early?

why I was fired

In October 2021, I had been an employee of Kellogg’s for almost 18 years.

I had dropped out of college and gone to work for the company after my wife got pregnant. Life’s easy when all you gotta do is take care of yourself – but we needed diapers and health insurance for our growing family.

Working at Kellogg’s used to be a lifelong career. A good-paying job that let you become a homeowner, live decently, and hopefully retire some day.

But over the years, that changed. Workers were paid less. Cost of living adjustments weren’t keeping up anywhere near inflation. Retirement and health insurance plans were gutted. It just wasn’t right. They were making record profits – and doing it off the backs of workers.

So in October 2021, we walked out. And as president of our local union, I led the strike.

I did this for something greater than ourselves

Most of us had never walked a picket line. It was cold, but we were determined to hold our lines through the dead of the winter if we had to. We were a part of something bigger than ourselves. We were in a fight for the future of the American middle class.

After 11 weeks in the cold, we reached an agreement. More importantly, we saved 500 good-paying union jobs.

It was one of the proudest moments of my life.

Following the strike, I was fired. Someone had to pay – and as union president, my head was on the chopping block.

It’s easy to let yourself get beaten down by life, to let big corporations and the politicians they own in Washington make all the decisions – and just accept that that’s how things will always be. But that’s not me.

Instead, I decided last year to run against one of the most corporate politicians – U.S. Sen. Republican Deb Fischer – and we nearly won. I got 47% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country.

Now, I’m running again for the U.S. Senate – this time against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts – and the first poll shows us virtually TIED: 46% to 45%.

I am taking on a literal billionaire senator. We can finish what we started last year and flip Nebraska’s Senate seat for working class people, but I need grassroots donors like you to give now if we’re going to win this seat.

Please, will you contribute to my campaign for U.S. Senate and Catherine Cortez Masto to help me defeat billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts here and flip Nebraska’s Senate seat?

I believe we can win this race and keep up the fight for the American middle class. But I’m counting on your support now to win.
