Friend: When you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. These words have guided my life in public service.

So it pains me to see everyday folks working harder than ever but still falling behind – while D.C. politicians give handout after handout to their wealthy donors and corporate special interest friends.

That’s why I’m getting back in this fight. Today, I’m launching my campaign for U.S. Senate in Ohio. Will you chip in $5 or more now – split between Michael Bennet and me – to help fuel our grassroots movement and flip Ohio’s Senate seat?

I never planned to run for office again. But I see what’s happening in Washington, and I can’t sit on the sidelines. Right now, no one in the Senate seems to be working for the people of Ohio, and that’s a job that I know I can do.

This isn’t about left versus right. It’s about who you fight for – and who you’re willing to stand up to.

When we fought to save the pensions of tens-of-thousands of Ohio retirees, we stood up to Wall Street and won. When we fought to cap insulin prices and bring down the cost of prescription drugs, we stood up to Big Pharma and won.

Together, we can build an economy where hard work pays off and where everyone has a shot at a decent life – but I need you in my corner from day one.

Our Senate race is going to be one of the most competitive races of 2026, and corporate special interests will spend millions of dollars to defeat me. The only way I can fight back and win is with your grassroots support.

I’m personally asking, friend: If you believe in my vision for a brighter, fairer future for all, will you chip in $5 now – split between my campaign and Michael Bennet's – to help me win in Ohio and deliver for workers across the country?

Thank you for standing with me.

In solidarity,

Sherrod Brown
