Friend: in a moment, I'm going to ask you to split a donation between me and Tim Kaine to help me win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority. But first, can I share my story with you?

I grew up in Mansfield, Ohio, in a community of ironworkers, carpenters, autoworkers, and electricians. My dad was a doctor and my mom was president of our local YWCA. They taught me the importance of hard work and serving one's community, and I've done my best to pass these values on to my kids and grandkids. Today, I live in Cleveland with my wife, Connie, and our two rescue dogs, Franklin and Walter.

But I'll be honest with you: Over the years, we've seen more and more of the manufacturing jobs Ohioans have depended on for decades shipped overseas. Corporate profits have skyrocketed while workers' wages remain stagnant. Jobs folks used to be able to count on to support a family and save for a decent retirement just aren't paying off the way they used to.

That's why I'm fighting every day in the Senate for the Dignity of Work – all work. No matter what kind of work you do, I promise to fight for you. But I need your help: I'm up for reelection in a state Donald Trump won twice, and I can't win without folks like you by my side.

Please, will you split $20 or more now between me and Tim Kaine to join me in this fight to win in Ohio, defend the Senate, and keep making progress for workers across our country?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Republicans are only two seats away from flipping the Senate, and experts at Politico say it could all come down to Ohio. Even worse, Mitch McConnell has personally named me one of his top targets, and I'm already facing three GOP opponents – which means three times the resources spent on attack ads against me. Now, polls show this race is neck and neck.

So, friend – I've told you who I am, why I'm in this fight, and what I'm up against. With the future of Ohio and the Senate, at stake, I'm counting on your grassroots support today. Are you with me?

Please, split $20 between my campaign and Tim Kaine’s now to help me hit my $25,000 midnight goal, protect Ohio and Virginia's crucial seats, and keep the Senate blue.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story and for being a part of my team. Together, I know we can win this thing and keep making vital progress for workers and families.

With gratitude,

Sherrod Brown
