Do you know how I became known as the “Hunted Democrat”?
I’ll tell you -- I got the nickname back in 2012 when special-interest groups spent $40 million in an attempt to buy Ohio’s Senate seat.
That was nearly a decade ago and a lot by 2012 standards.
Now, elections are more expensive than ever. Outside spending totaled over $3 BILLION in 2020 -- and that’s nearly double what was spent in 2016. A GOP super PAC linked to Mitch McConnell spent nearly $300 million on last year’s election alone.
Just imagine how much dark money will pour into the open Ohio Senate race in 2022. That’s what we’re up against.

Right now, I’m the only remaining statewide elected Democrat in Ohio.
Mitch McConnell, dark-money groups, and candidates embracing Donald Trump’s anti-worker brand of far-right extremism want to make me the last.
There’s no doubt we’re in for a challenge -- but we'll fight back the same way we did in 2018 and 2012: one small-dollar donation at a time.
Our grassroots movement is working to elect more pro-worker Democrats in Ohio and across the country. And when everyone pitches in -- even if it’s only $2, $10, or our average online contribution of $26 -- we can bring home big wins just like we did in 2012, 2018, and 2020. But first, we need people like you to get involved.
With gratitude,
Sherrod
