This news couldn’t have come at a worse time, John:

After The Cook Political Report called our race in Ohio a toss up, Mitch McConnell started coming after Sherrod as his top target for defeat. Now, a brand-new GOP opponent just jumped in the race to defeat Sherrod – and polls already show us in a dead heat.

With Senate control on the line, we need an immediate surge of grassroots support to pull ahead and win. That’s why we just set a $30k rapid-response goal to make sure we have the resources to defend this must-win seat, and we need your help to get there by midnight:

Please, John, rush $10, or whatever you can spare to help Sherrod Brown reach this critical goal so we can win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority! »

Thanks for your support, John.

– Team Sherrod
