I know I say this a lot, but it's important: Our race is the key to defending our Democratic majority in the Senate. In a minute, I'm going to ask you to donate to help us keep the Senate blue, [but click here if you want to chip in five bucks right now. I'm grateful for whatever you can spare.]( Here's the truth, friend: Campaigns are expensive. We need to open field offices, buy ad time, hire staff, train volunteers, print yard signs – you name it – to get our pro-worker message directly to folks all across Ohio. I honestly wish money wasn't such a huge factor in this campaign, but MAGA Republicans and their billionaire megadonors are spending more money to defeat me in Ohio than in any other Senate race in the country. We can't afford to be outspent and drowned out, folks. That's why I'm reaching out to this grassroots team for help. We rely on the supporters who read these emails to each chip in – because, collectively, we can make a BIG difference. [I'm counting on you, friend. We're short of where we need to be to stay on track to meet our urgent midnight goal. Will you give $5 – or our average grassroots donation of $26 – to help us win in Ohio, stop JD Vance and Bernie Moreno, and keep the Senate blue?]( Please use the links in this email to start a weekly donation through ActBlue. [CONTRIBUTE $5 NOW]( [CONTRIBUTE $26 NOW]( [CONTRIBUTE $50 NOW]( [OTHER AMOUNT NOW]( Thank you for helping keep the Senate blue, [Sherrod]( P.S. A quick reminder that JD Vance and Bernie Moreno want to ban abortion nationwide, eliminate Social Security and Medicare, and cut taxes for their billionaire buddies. [Here's how we stop them.]( ‍ Please read on for a personal message from Sen. Sherrod Brown: Friend – thank you for being a part of our grassroots movement and for sharing our commitment to the Dignity of Work. Fighting for workers means building an economy that prioritizes the needs of workers over tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. No matter who you are or what kind of work you do, I promise to fight for you. But I need your help: Experts say I'm one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection and Senate control could come down to Ohio. The only way we can defend this critical seat is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you. [If you're with me in this fight, please chip in any amount today to win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority.]( If you’d like to become one of my TOP supporters and receive exclusive updates from our campaign team, text “OH” to 44105. Thank you! [Our fight for the dignity of work is far from over.]( This email was sent to {EMAIL}. [To unsubscribe from this email list, please click here.]( Friends of Sherrod Brown 605 N.
