Bad news, friend: After tallying the final numbers, we fell $10,421 short of our critical August fundraising goal.

Every goal and every dollar counts in this battleground race – which experts say could decide Senate control. So with polls showing Sherrod running neck and neck against his GOP millionaire opponents, we just can't afford to take our foot off the gas.

Please, friend, don't let us fall short again: Will you rush $5 or more now – as much as you can spare by midnight tonight – to get us back on track to win in Ohio and defend the Senate?

Thank you,

Sherrod Brown HQ
