Jeanne's Cookies: Outspent

Outspent

There is an absolutely wild amount of money coming at us. And it’s getting worse. Here's what you need to know:

First, far-right billionaire Peter Thiel dropped $3.6 million against Sherrod in a single week. He spent $15 million to elect JD Vance to this seat in 2022, so we know he's prepared to send more.

Then, far-right billionaire Elon Musk placed his first ad of the entire cycle – a smear campaign against Sherrod.

Now, Trump is spending his massive warchest, and that includes at least $11.1 million being thrown our way. We're getting pummeled on the airwaves and outspent 3:1. Too many Ohio voters are only hearing the Thiel-Musk-Trump side of the story.

National Republicans and their billionaire backers are spending this kind of money because they see our campaign as a threat to their self-serving agenda. We can win, but only if we keep the pressure on.

Will you chip in $5 to help us win this battleground seat and retake 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.
