I couldn’t have predicted this

Hi,

I always knew this Senate race was going to be a tough fight, but I couldn’t have predicted this:

Even though Donald Trump won Ohio by double digits in 2024, polling consistently shows me running neck and neck with Trump's handpicked candidate, Jon Husted.
We’re on track to break our own record for most expensive Senate race in U.S. history, with analysts projecting $749 million in total spending.
We have to flip Ohio to have any chance of taking back the Senate.

Everyone counted us out, but we’re proving the naysayers wrong at every step. This is now the most important Senate race in the country – but if we’re going to win it, I need your help. Please.

If flipping Ohio’s battleground seat, taking back the Senate, and ending the GOP’s one-party rule in Washington is worth $5 or even just a few bucks to you, that is what I’m asking you to chip in to my campaign today. Can I count on you?

It’s not an overstatement to say that what happens in Ohio will shape our nation’s future. I’m grateful for and inspired by the hundreds of thousands of folks who have stood by my side in this fight.

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.
