Elon Musk is spending even more

Just one $5 donation.

That’s what I need you to chip in right now to help us fill a critical budget gap before the end of the day. Can I count on you? Every dollar will help us flip this seat.

Here’s why it’s urgent: The Senate Leadership Fund, the Senate GOP’s top super PAC, just announced a massive third-quarter haul: $273 million. And they’re ready to spend all of it on battleground races across the country – including Ohio.

The worst part is Elon Musk is behind the majority of that money.

Elon Musk has already spent millions in this race trying to stop our momentum. Now he’s handing super PACs even more to drown us out with attack ads and boost Jon Husted in these final 15 days.

I’m not surprised. The GOP is already spending more here than in any other battleground – more than North Carolina, Georgia, and Alaska combined. They know the path to the Senate runs straight through Ohio, and they’re terrified of the momentum we’ve built.

The truth is, Jon Husted can’t win this on his own. He doesn’t have the grassroots support from working families or the energy on the ground that we do. That’s why these ad blitzes matter. In a race this close, they can make or break our chances of winning. And right now, Republicans are outspending us.

If we have the grassroots resources to fight back, we can win. If we don’t, we won’t be able to stay competitive.

Husted has dark-money super PACs and billionaires like Elon Musk. I have people like you.

Just one $5 donation. That’s all I’m asking. A new poll shows we’re down by one point, so this is the moment when we need to come together and surge ahead. To flip Ohio. To take back the Senate. To keep fighting for working people. Please give $5 today to help me fend off the GOP’s spending spree. I can’t do it without you.

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.
