There’s just over a week left to turn Ohio blue, and I’m not just talking about the presidential race.

Ohio is a battleground state and my friend Desiree Tims is competing in a toss-up race to flip Ohio’s 10th District from red to blue. A new poll released this week shows the race is statistically tied!

We can do this, but there isn’t much time left. Ohioans are turning out to vote early in record numbers.

We need to talk to undecided voters about Desiree’s vision for OH-10 now. We can’t wait until the last minute. If you can, will you split a contribution between Desiree’s campaign and mine today?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and split between Desiree Tims and Sherrod Brown:

Express Donate: $5

Express Donate: $10

Express Donate: $26

Or donate another amount.

Desiree was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and she's dedicated her whole life to fighting for communities like hers. She is the first in her family to go to college and is even a Team Sherrod alum!

I know Desiree, and I know in Congress, she’ll fight for the Dignity of Work, to improve access to affordable health care, to ensure families have access to quality child care, and to prevent gun violence in our communities.

Desiree would make an exceptional congresswoman for Ohio’s 10th, and she would be the first Black woman to ever represent the district in Congress.

But special-interest groups are pouring dark money into Desiree’s race. She’s relying on small-dollar grassroots contributions to keep up in these last days before the election. If you can, please split a contribution between Desiree’s campaign and mine.

With gratitude,

Sherrod
