Tonight’s FEC deadline

Hi – I’m sorry to reach out so early. This race in Ohio will decide Senate control, and right now, I need your help to win.

While Jon Husted is relying on Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and cryptobillionaires to try to buy this seat, I’m depending on grassroots supporters like you to power our movement to victory. I know we can beat the GOP, but they’re coming after me with everything they have – and it looks like their strategy is working:

A new poll shows me tied with Husted, 47% to 47%. And unfortunately, we’re falling short of the $2 million we need to fight back and surge ahead. Even worse, we’re legally required by the FEC to make our numbers public, and we only have until midnight tonight before we close the books.

So I'm personally asking: Will you chip in $5 – matched to be worth $10 until our FEC deadline at midnight – so we can reach our crucial end-of-quarter goal and win in Ohio?

Look, we’re in the homestretch of this race. We’re doing everything we possibly can to win – from running ads on TV and online to knocking on doors and having face-to-face conversations with Ohioans – but all of this work takes serious resources.

My team crunched the numbers, and if everyone reading this email chipped in $5, we’d hit our goal in the next 3 minutes. We’d have what we need to respond to the GOP and reach more voters. But I know not everyone can or will, so I’m turning to the folks who have stepped up before to see if I can count on you again today. That’s why I’m depending on you to take advantage of this chance to have your $5 matched, dollar for dollar.

We've got until midnight to make magic happen: Will you please chip in $5 (worth $10) to help us meet our $2 million goal, flip Ohio, and take back the Senate?

Let's do this,

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.
