Friend, it’s Cory Booker. I’m writing today to ask you to support my friend and colleague, Sherrod Brown, in his fight to win reelection in Ohio.

From the moment I got to the Senate 11 years ago, Sherrod Brown has been a trusted partner in the fight to make sure our country delivers on its promises for all Americans, not just the wealthy elites. I’ve proudly fought by his side to end child poverty, support unions, and call out racial disparities in our health care system.

Working alongside Sherrod is incredibly inspiring. No matter what we’re up against, he wakes up every day ready to do whatever it takes to deliver for workers and families. Sherrod always says, “When you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work.” And he puts in the work, day in and day out, to do just that.

But Sherrod needs our help to keep up this fight, friend. He’s up for reelection in what experts are saying could be one of the most competitive – and expensive – races this year. Republicans are spending record amounts to defeat him, and Sherrod is counting on grassroots supporters like you to fight back.

Please, will you chip in $5 or more to help my friend Sherrod Brown win in Ohio and keep fighting for working families across the country?

Look, here’s the simple truth: If everyone reading this donated $5, Sherrod would reach his midnight goal in no time, and we could stop sending emails like this one. But not everyone will, friend, and falling short of these critical fundraising goals simply isn’t an option with national Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump going all in to defeat Sherrod and flip the Senate red.

So I’m personally asking you to chip in a few dollars to help Sherrod Brown, a proven champion for workers, families, and everything we care about, defend this critical seat.

We need more people like Sherrod fighting for us in the Senate, not fewer. Thanks for joining me to support him today.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
