I know you’re likely getting a ton of emails from candidates and causes right now, friend.

But I have to ask: Is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in $5 to my Senate campaign in Ohio today?

What if I told you that right after I joined this race, experts at The Cook Political Report increased our odds of winning?

What if I told you that CNN and The New York Times report that Ohio is in play – but that corporate special interests are gearing up to spend millions against me?

What if I told you that there have already been misleading attack ads – and that whether we’re able to counter these smears and reach voters with the truth depends on people like you?

This grassroots, small-dollar donor movement is our best chance to flip Ohio’s Senate seat. But we’re facing a tough fight, and I need folks like you by my side to win.

So please, chip in $5 – or even $25 if you can spare it – to power our campaign forward, win in Ohio, and keep up the fight for working people.

Thank you so much,

Sherrod Brown
