Friend – with recent polls showing Ohio's battleground Senate race neck and neck, Sherrod Brown's millionaire GOP opponents are doing everything they can to defeat him.

All three of his self-funding millionaire opponents have written their campaigns HUGE checks to buy this seat – and one of them even spent $2 million on a TV ad buy to flood the airwaves and win over Ohio voters.

Unlike his opponents, Sherrod doesn't have the backing of a massive personal fortune. But he has something better: this grassroots team. That's why we set a goal to raise $250,000 in grassroots donations before the end-of-quarter FEC deadline. So please, will you chip in $5 or more now so Sherrod can defend this seat AND the Senate?

Our average campaign donation is $26. That's not a lot compared to his opponents' million-dollar checks, but when everyone chips in, it adds up quickly. That's how we'll win – together.

So we're counting on everyone reading this email to contribute $5, $26, or whatever you can spare to defeat our GOP opponents and help Sherrod keep fighting for our shared values in the Senate.

So please, rush $5 or more now – everything you can spare before the last FEC deadline of the year – to help Sherrod reach his end-of-quarter goal, power our grassroots movement to victory, and defend our Senate majority!

Thank you,

Team Sherrod
