Don’t look away: Ohio is Democrats’ 51st seat in the Senate

All eyes are on Ohio.

Donald Trump has endorsed Jon Husted, AND he’s traveled to Ohio to boost him. Then JD Vance showed up here a few days ago.

Sherrod is National Republicans' top target because they know our race is the key to hanging on to their slim Senate majority.

Here’s the choice: If Husted wins, Donald Trump keeps another yes-man in the Senate to rubber-stamp his agenda. If Sherrod wins, we deliver a major rebuke to that agenda, flip the Senate, and give working families a real voice in Washington.

We can win. But that won’t happen without you. We’re down by 3 in the polls, and we need all hands on deck.

Can you rush $5 today to send a clear message to Trump and help us flip this seat?

DONATE

Here’s why this moment is so critical:

Working families are getting crushed by rising costs, and Jon Husted – who's pro-war, pro-data center, and pro-cutting health care – has made it very clear that he proudly stands with Trump.

And his loyalty has been rewarded: National Republicans have committed over $130 million to bailing out Husted's flailing campaign.

Will you send a message loud and clear enough for Trump and Husted to hear? Senate control is on the line, and this is a must-win seat.

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.
