Friend, as our race in Ohio heats up, I want to make sure you know exactly who I am and what I stand for.

I've spent my life fighting for workers and families. That means advocating for raising the federal minimum wage, for stronger labor unions, for protecting the retirement benefits that folks have earned, and more.

I've stood up to big banks and corporate special interests who pad their pockets at the expense of families, because taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for Wall Street's risky bets.

I've fought for voting rights, which are under attack. When I served as Ohio Secretary of State, The Washington Post called my voter registration efforts "the most intensive and wide-ranging in the nation."

I want what most Americans want: to ensure our nation delivers on its promises. That's why I'm fighting for a country where hard work is rewarded and where all people are given the opportunity to live their version of the American dream.

But right now, I'm facing my toughest reelection yet, and Politico says Ohio could decide Senate control. I simply cannot defend my seat and keep up this critical fight without your grassroots support. Unlike my potential GOP opponents, I don't have my own multimillion-dollar fortune to pour into this race – so I'm counting on folks like you, friend: 

Please, will you chip in $5 or more today to help me win in Ohio, keep the Senate blue, and continue delivering for working families across the country?

It's an honor to serve. I'm humbled to have your support.

With gratitude, 

Sherrod Brown
