Team, this is urgent: A GOP super PAC is going live on the airwaves with attack ads against me TODAY, and we need to fight back ASAP. Could you please chip in $25 to split between my campaign and my friend, Marcy Kaptur? We're both in an incredibly tough race and your support matters a great deal.

This seven-figure ad buy comes on top of reports that Republicans are spending more on Ohio than any other race in the country – all because they know it could decide Senate control.

There's no sugar-coating this, friend: I'm facing the toughest race of my life against a self-funding, Trump-endorsed opponent, record-breaking spending from national Republicans, and now a massive smear campaign on the airwaves.

If we don't fight back ASAP, it could cost us this race and our Democratic Senate majority. That's why we just set a $100,000 rapid-response goal, and I'm personally asking for your grassroots support to get there.

Will you rush $10, $25, or anything at all to split between my campaign and Marcy Kaptur to help us fight back against GOP attacks, win in Ohio, keep the Senate blue, and win back the House?

Thanks for stepping up at this critical moment,

— Sherrod Brown
