Friend, I'm reaching out with an urgent update on our battleground race in Ohio:

I’m up against Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate in the race experts say will decide Senate control. Now, new polling shows me two points down, AND the GOP recently announced a brand-new $100 MILLION ad blitz – because they know if we lose here, it's all but guaranteed that we lose our Democratic majority.

Unlike my megamillionaire opponent, I can't write myself a fat check. I'm running a true grassroots campaign that relies on folks like you, friend.

That’s why I’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $500,000 before our critical rapid-response deadline at midnight, and I'm counting on you to help me get there. So please, friend, will you rush $5, $25, or whatever you can spare to help me win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

Look, I know what it takes to win a tough race because I've done it before. And with everything from higher wages to abortion access on the line, we have absolutely zero room for error.

That's why reaching this goal is so important. Every dollar you give goes directly toward registering voters, running TV ads, and mobilizing every last Ohioan. Simply put, your donation today will make sure we have the resources we need to win.

So please, friend, I'm personally asking: Will you chip in $5 or more right now to help us reach our critical fundraising goal before the midnight deadline so we can win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue?

Thanks so much for your help,

Sherrod Brown
