My friend Tim Ryan reached out to you with five reasons why you should split a contribution between his campaign and mine.

I want to give you one more reason: The first FEC deadline of the election year is just over a week away.

Tim has what it takes to win and we can give Ohioans the most pro-worker delegation in Congress, but we’re counting on grassroots supporters like you to get involved in this race to make it happen. Please split $5 between Tim’s campaign and mine before the deadline.

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

With gratitude,

Sherrod

Folks -- I’m about to ask you to split $5 between my grassroots campaign and Sherrod's. But first, I want to tell you why I’m confident we can prove the skeptics wrong and win this battleground race.

1. Republican Senator Rob Portman is retiring, leaving Ohio’s Senate seat wide open. Republicans are fighting it out in a messy and expensive primary, giving us a stronger chance of flipping this seat blue.


2. Ohio already has a Democratic Senator. Sherrod Brown has proven that Ohioans want to elect a Senator who puts workers first.


3. A recent poll has me within single digits of my Republican opponents. It’s still early in the race, and the more we get our message out, the more voters we’ll win over.


4. Working people are fed up and ready for change. I’ve been traveling all over the state, and Ohioans are sick of handouts for big corporations and billionaires -- they want good-paying jobs, health care they can afford, and a fair shot for their kids to succeed. 


5. We have grassroots momentum. While my rich Republican opponents are propping up their campaigns with millions of their own dollars, we’re powered by folks who chip in $5, $25, or $100 at a time.

So, folks, we have a real path to winning this race -- but it will take everything we have to pull it off.  

Here’s my ask: Will you chip in $5 or more between our campaigns to help us keep up our grassroots energy and hit our fundraising goals?

Together, I know we can get this done.
