Bad news

Hey. It's Sherrod here, and I've got good news and bad news...

The Good: Our new TV ads are on the air. Grassroots momentum is surging. And Ohio is officially in play – The Cook Political Report even shifted the race further in our direction, ranking it a "Toss Up."

The Bad: Over $80 million in GOP dark money is being dumped into Ohio to attack me. Unfortunately, it's working – The New York Times is reporting a new poll that shows we fell behind Jon Husted by three points.

Look, I'm no stranger to tough fights. But the truth is, I need you with me, or we don't stand a chance. Please, chip in $5 or $25 now, and let's come together and flip this battleground seat.

CONTRIBUTE

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’m helping oversee Save the Children’s Ebola response in the DRC

How do you stop an Ebola outbreak?

I’m Greg, Save the Children’s Country Director in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) — and I can tell you that our priority right now is to stop transmission of the virus, protect health workers, ensure communities have trusted information and, most importantly, keep children safe.

Our teams are racing to reach at-risk communities and deliver critical assistance to children and families. We responded to the last major Ebola outbreak in the DRC in 2018, and now we’ve launched an initial three-month response to the current outbreak.

Here are a few ways we’re responding — and the supplies that our teams are using to screen, treat and educate families to prevent further spread of Ebola in the DRC:

Handwashing and hygiene. Soap and basic handwashing supplies help families protect themselves from infection. $10 could provide a family with soap and handwashing materials >>
Education and awareness. Community health volunteers safely share lifesaving information that helps stop Ebola from spreading. $25 could equip a community volunteer with essential protective supplies >>
Infection prevention. Classrooms, health posts, water points and other high-risk areas require consistent cleaning. $100 could purchase 50 kg of chlorine to disinfect public health facilities >>

In the months ahead, we’ll continue supporting health facilities, training health workers, providing nutrition support and sending a team of medical and crisis specialists to deliver integrated health and nutrition services.

Throughout our entire response, protecting children will be central — including , psychosocial support, protective services and support for children who’ve lost caregivers.

It’s clear that rapid action and urgent funding are needed to stop this outbreak from spreading further. Rush your donation to our Ebola Crisis Relief Fund right now to help save children’s lives in the DRC.

We’ll provide more updates on the outbreak and our response in the days ahead.

Sincerely,

Greg Ramm
Country Director, Save the Children DRC

re: our news

Did you see the news?

👉 The Cook Political Report and Inside Elections have shifted our race further in Sherrod's direction.

We've got momentum and we can win – and nonpartisan political analysts see what we see on the ground.

Will you chip in $5 now to help us flip Ohio? Here's your personalized link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sherrod-email-q2-2026-jeannescookies.rightnow@blogger.com

This news is critical because Sherrod is National Republicans' No. 1 target. They've already launched misleading attack ads, and their super PACs are dumping $81 million more to flood the airwaves in Ohio (the most of any state in the country).

We don't know how the GOP's cash infusion is going to attack Sherrod. But we do know we need to fight back.

That's why today needs to be a record-breaking day for our campaign. We set a critical goal to raise an extra $125,000 and show everyone what our team is made of. Will you help us capitalize on this moment by rushing $5 so that we can flip Ohio and the Senate?

Thank you.

With just six days to go in this election, the difference between the candidates’ values couldn’t be clearer.

On one side, there’s Katie Porter: a fighter for working families with a plan to hold special interests accountable. She knows what Californians are going through, and how to make our state more affordable.

On the other side are the big-money and MAGA-backed candidates.

Xavier Becerra’s campaign is propped up by half a million dollars from Chevron. Tom Steyer is a literal billionaire trying to buy this election with over $213 MILLION of his personal fortune.

And that’s not even mentioning the two MAGA Republicans running to bring Trump’s agenda to California.

Who wins this race matters because their values will decide our future. Katie Porter is the only candidate who’s lived the struggle of working Californians, and will actually fight to change the status quo.

We’re running out of time to reach voters, and we’re going all out in the final week to get people to the polls. Porter Supporters like you need to step up to get our campaign over the finish line.

We set a $250,000 goal to fund the final push we need to win. Can you chip in $5 or more to help us reach it and elect Katie Porter as our next governor?

Thank you,

If Sherrod Brown is going to defeat Jon Husted and flip this seat, we need you to rush $5 to our campaign for U.S. Senate today.

Not tomorrow or next week – right now.

Here's why: $79 million in dark money is being dumped into Ohio by the GOP's main Senate super PAC – the most of any state. They are using that money to hammer us with negative TV ads attacking Sherrod personally.

Unfortunately, brand-new polling shows the attack ads might just be working – The New York Times reports we slipped behind Husted by three points.

That’s why everyone here at Team Sherrod is asking for your help today. The only way we can afford to fight back, hire more organizers, and print more campaign fliers to share with voters across the state is if grassroots donors like you chip in now.

So please, will you rush $25 or even $5 right now to Sherrod Brown’s campaign? The path for Democrats to win the Senate goes straight through Ohio, so we absolutely cannot afford to lose this race.

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

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.

Ebola in DRC: What the headlines won't tell you

Friend,

Children and families in the Democratic Republic of Congo are facing a fast-moving and deadly Ebola outbreak.

Children are already being disproportionately affected by this outbreak. We know the Ebola virus tends to be deadlier in children, with previous outbreaks having a 90% infant fatality rate and 80% in children under 4 — underscoring the urgent need to protect them and highlighting the importance of a child-centered response from the outset.

We’ve seen how drastically this virus has upended lives in the DRC. Today, we want to share some key reasons why children are the most at risk during an Ebola outbreak — and why your support is so vital.

You can get the latest updates on the situation in the DRC and learn more about our Ebola response here >>

1. Close contact with household members and caregivers

In the DRC, Marlène* holds her 2-month-old daughter as a health worker checks her temperature.

Young children are especially vulnerable to infections because of their frequent contact with other household members and caregivers — and they can deteriorate rapidly without early detection. Women and girls also face increased exposure as primary caregivers for sick families.

For pregnant and breastfeeding women like Marlène, this outbreak means constant worry about her newborn's well-being — and fear of passing the virus along to her child if she becomes infected. “For us, as breastfeeding mothers,” she said, “this is truly frightening.”

At a Save the Children health center, Marlène’s daughter received a health screening, and Marlène received guidance on preventive measures, including frequent handwashing and maintaining physical distance, which she now tries to follow carefully in her daily life.

2. Separation from family and caregivers

Marlène hands her newborn to a health worker for a screening.

When family members become infected, young children may suddenly lose access to their primary caregiver, the one who knows their medications, routine and specific needs.

This can cause both short-term challenges to their daily lives and care and long-term impacts on the health and well-being of children who lose parents, family members or caregivers.

3. Disruptions to routine health care

Marlène hopes that her community continues to receive assistance throughout this outbreak. “What we need here are gloves, medicines, handwashing facilities and soap. All of these can help protect us from this disease.”

During an outbreak, common services such as immunization, nutrition services and treatment for childhood illnesses may be delayed to prioritize people who’ve been infected.

In a country already plagued by violent conflict, displacement and acute hunger, this means the fragile healthcare system is being pushed to the limit. It also means fewer resources to treat malnutrition and other illnesses that were already devastating communities across the DRC.

Friend, Save the Children has been working in the DRC for decades. We were there within days of the last major Ebola outbreak, supporting hospitals, training health workers and countering the misinformation that was actively helping the virus spread.

Our teams are already here once again, reaching families across the country to contain the virus and ensure children’s survival. Amid this threatening virus, Save the Children will remain in communities to put children first.

We’ll keep you updated on our teams’ long-term response. In the meantime, learn more about the work we’ve been doing in the DRC.

Thank you for caring about the children who need us most.

Save the Children

P.S. You can send urgent support to children affected by the Ebola outbreak in the DRC with a gift to our Ebola Crisis Relief Fund. Your donation today will help ensure our teams can respond quickly and save lives.
