Elon Musk’s decision

Hello,

I wanted you to hear this update directly from me. A few weeks ago, Elon Musk announced plans to spend at least $100 million to keep Republican control of the House and Senate. And as of this week, his first ad has started hitting the airwaves in Ohio.

I’ll have more to say in a moment, but if you already understand the gravity of this situation and want to stand up to Elon Musk’s latest attempt to meddle in our elections, please rush a donation to my campaign at this secure link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sherrod-email-q3-2026

Let’s call it what it is: Elon is meddling in our elections to buy influence in Washington so corrupt politicians keep cutting his taxes and rigging the system in his favor.

He knows that if he can keep Jon Husted in the U.S. Senate, he and his billionaire class will have a Senator – and a Republican Senate majority – to do their bidding.

To Elon Musk, $100 million is couch cushion change. He’s the richest man in the world. And while I wish money like this didn’t have an impact on our races, the tragic reality is it can – and it will.

If you want to stand with me and help me fight back, please click here to support my campaign and get involved. It has never mattered more.

The very first Ohioans will be casting their ballots this month. If we let the first and loudest message they see be the misleading ads and mail coming from Elon Musk, we will lose critical ground and credibility at the most important time. In a race we’re expecting to come down to a few thousand votes, Elon’s spending could be what tips the scale against us.

This seat belongs to you, not to Elon Musk. But the only way we can put an end to billionaires buying elections is with the generosity of folks just like you stepping up and giving $5, $10, or $25 at a time.

Please make a donation to our campaign to stop Elon Musk from buying Ohio’s Senate seat for Jon Husted. By the time you’re reading this, thousands of people will have heard our message and contributed too, and they’re really hoping you’ll join them.

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.
