Jeanne's Cookies: I’m in a bit of a pickle

I’m in a bit of a pickle

It’s all because of you.

The momentum we’re seeing right now – from a new poll showing us leading in this race to The Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball shifting Ohio to a Toss Up – is thanks to your grassroots support.

It didn’t happen because a billionaire wrote a big check.

It happened because you made the critical decision to join this team and engage with our campaign. That matters, and I’m so grateful.

But today, I’m in a bit of a pickle and could really use your help: We fell short of last night’s mid-month fundraising goal.

We’ve got a real shot to flip this seat – but momentum is built, not given. With National Republicans pouring $83 million into attack ads to defeat me, we simply cannot take our foot off the gas. We have to close this budget gap before midnight tonight.

We’re leading in the polls because of you – and when we win this November, it’ll be because of you, too. So please, will you chip in your first $5 donation to help us make up our $200,000 shortfall, keep up the momentum, and flip Ohio’s battleground Senate seat?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Please give if, and only if, you can today. Thank you so much.

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.

Thank you.
