Roughly 50-50 odds

I want you to see something:

Election Midterms - Ohio Senate Election Winner - Brown 52% Husted 49%

Look, prediction markets aren’t a crystal ball into the future, but they are windows into how people are thinking and feeling in a given moment – and right now, these roughly 50-50 odds are making me nervous.

The polls, the odds – they’re changing by the minute. With National Republicans doing and spending whatever it takes to defeat me, if we take our foot off the gas for even a second, we could fall behind for good.

A race this close will come down to resources. We can either gamble on this Senate race and leave things to chance – or we can all come together and ensure we have what we need to compete with the GOP and win.

Instead of betting on this race, take a stand to claim your stake in the race that will decide Senate control. Will you chip in what you can today to help me flip Ohio and retake the Senate majority?

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.
