Campaign Update

We launched this campaign a little over a year ago, and since then, this grassroots team has been incredible.

YOU have powered all our momentum.
YOU are the reason we are in a position to win Ohio and flip the Senate.
YOU are going to help us give working people their voice in Washington.

So with early voting starting next month, we want to give you an inside look at the state of the race and all you’ve accomplished. Take a peek at our latest memo, and chip in $5 to help keep up the momentum.

Memo: 2026 Ohio U.S. Senate Race
Candidate: Sherrod Brown (D)

September 2026

The energy behind Sherrod’s candidacy has been palpable since Day One. We launched, and everyone from CNN to the New York Times said Ohio was now in play. Within 24 hours, people from every single one of Ohio’s 88 counties donated, and 95% of the donations were under $100.
Experts at The Cook Political Report increased our odds of winning Ohio.
The Decision Desk labeled this race a “Toss Up” – saying it’s a 50/50 split. Either side could win.
Sherrod became a top target for National Republicans after it was clear the Senate majority would be decided in Ohio. They’ve spent over $130 million so far to stop us.
Far-right billionaire Peter Thiel dropped $3.6 million in ads in Ohio to attack Sherrod and boost Jon Husted. And Elon Musk placed his very first attack ad of the election cycle right here in Ohio.
JD Vance and Donald Trump have BOTH traveled to Ohio, proving how important this battleground race is to the Senate.
Polls show this race is a dead heat. All signs point to Ohio’s Senate race being extremely competitive all the way to Election Day in just 55 days.

Sherrod is running to stand up to the billionaires and corporate special interests rigging the system against working families in Ohio and across the country. But here’s the truth: We’re being outspent, and every day is an uphill battle. We simply cannot flip Ohio without you.

With Donald Trump’s GOP convention happening right now, we need your help to reach our critical $1 million goal by tomorrow at midnight and show the strength of our grassroots movement. Will you chip in $5 or more now to win in Ohio, flip this seat, and send Sherrod to the Senate?

Note: This email only reflects donations made online with this email address. If you've made a previous contribution via check or with a different email address/phone number, you may not see it here – but know that Sherrod and our entire team are deeply grateful for your support.

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.
