Friend – after last month's decisive special election victory, I'm feeling better than ever about our chances of winning here in Ohio next year. But we need a powerful surge of grassroots support to keep up our momentum, so my team and I just set an ambitious $100,000 mid-month goal. Can I count on you to help us get there?

This momentum couldn't have come at a better time. Polling shows me neck and neck with my potential GOP opponents, and experts at Politico say this race could decide Senate control. Mitch McConnell already named me a top GOP target – so national Republicans will be even more laser-focused on this race.

I'm up against multiple self-funding opponents who are ready to spend millions of dollars of their own money to buy this seat, so I really mean it when I say your grassroots support is as necessary as it is appreciated. Please, will you rush $5, or any amount, to help reach our mid-month goal, win in Ohio, and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

Thank you so much,

Sherrod Brown
