Vance, Trump, and their billionaire donors

Hi – JD Vance just spoke here in Middletown, Ohio to rile up the MAGA base and help Republican Jon Husted defeat me. I need your urgent support to fight back, so I am asking you to chip in $5 or whatever you can spare to my campaign right now.

Here’s the best link to donate: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sherrod-email-q3-2026

Vance, Trump, and their billionaire megadonors are hellbent on defeating me because they know that this race will decide Senate control.

Jon Husted was actually the GOP’s handpicked and appointed candidate to fill the rest of Vance’s Senate term when he became Vice President in 2024 – and now, Vance is parachuting into Ohio to help him hold on to it.

All this national attention on Ohio means even more dark money is about to flood into this race, and the only way I can possibly fight back and stay on track to win is with your immediate grassroots support. Right here, right now.

I need your help to reach my $300,000 Rapid Response goal by midnight. We have extended the deadline, and I’m counting on you to pitch in as much as you can. Please, will you give $5 or more to flip Ohio and the Senate?

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.
