Lagging (re: FEC deadline month)

Hey, it's the Sherrod Brown Finance Team.

We’re the ones who track how much we’re raising, where campaign cash is being spent, and set our budget goals for every month. We’re coming to you with a hard truth:

We’re being outspent by the GOP right now.

The GOP and dark-money super PACs are pouring $83 million into baseless attack ads to crush our grassroots movement, and just last week, the Koch family super PAC dumped over $1 million more.

At the same time, our fundraising is lagging behind our projections for June, a month that ends with our critical quarterly FEC deadline. Not great.

That’s why we need your help. We’re weeks away from our fundraising numbers going public. A slowdown today means we risk showing everyone where our weak points are – and the GOP is looking for any reason to pounce with another surprise ad blitz against us.

So, if you’ve been waiting for the moment your first donation will go the furthest in helping Sherrod win in Ohio and flip the Senate, the time is right now. Will you rush $5 or more to help us reach our June FEC fundraising goal?

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

Falling behind on our June goal will give the GOP an opening to catch us flat-footed – so thank you for helping us get back on track today.

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.
