197 million reasons to worry

Hey – I need a second of your time.

I’m about to hop into a strategy meeting with my team, and I want to be transparent with you about what we’re going to discuss: Republicans have booked the most ad space in Ohio compared to any other battleground in the country.

Top 10 midterm races by ad spending chart, Ohio in top spot

Ohio is outpacing the next state on the list by tens of millions.

Why are they hitting me so hard with attack ads?

1. If the GOP loses Ohio, they’ll lose their Senate majority.

2. Republicans and megadonors like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are terrified of our grassroots movement for working people – and our calls to fix a rigged system that only serves them.

If there’s anything we learned from our race in 2024, it’s that this much money this close to Election Day could sway enough undecided voters at the last minute and end our chances of flipping this seat.

The only way we can prevent that from happening is if we have the critical resources we need to respond. So I’m turning to the folks who truly understand the stakes of this race. People like you.

Will you chip in $5 or more now to help me fight back against the GOP’s massive surge in spending, win in Ohio, and flip the Senate? I’ll be tracking donations at this link for the next 90 minutes: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sherrod-email-q3-2026

More soon,
Sherrod Brown

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.
