An Ignoble Experiment: On the air in Ohio

On the air in Ohio

Hey there – it's Sherrod Brown.

We're on the air with our first ad. This is the moment when things kick into high gear.

Going on the air is a pivotal moment for a campaign. We're making crucial budget decisions every day, and whether or not we hit our daily grassroots fundraising goals determines if we can keep these ads running – or if we need to take them down.

The role that this team plays becomes even more important. It's because of generous folks chipping in a couple bucks here and there that we've been able to launch our first ad so early and with such force. Now, I need you to step up again.

In a state like Ohio, we can’t afford to leave a single stone unturned. That means running ads far and wide and reaching voters in every single corner.

National Republicans are already pouring $80 million into Ohio and we’re expecting millions more to come, so we have to replenish our ads stockpile constantly. Will you rush $5 to help us keep these ads on the air so we can reach all Ohioans, flip this seat, and take back the Senate majority?

Thank you for all that you do.

Sherrod

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Personal message from Sherrod: I didn’t plan on running for office again.

But when I saw how these guys in Washington are only looking out for their billionaire friends and special interests, I knew I had to get back in the fight.

This grassroots movement is about fighting back against a rigged system that benefits the wealthy and well-connected, while working people pay the price.

And we’ve got momentum: Experts increased our odds of winning and officially named Ohio as a key Senate race to watch, and two new polls show we have a slight lead over our opponent.

But I need your help: Corporate special interests have already spent millions attacking me with misleading ads. The only way we can fight back and win in Ohio is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you.

If you're with me, please chip in any amount today. If you'd like to become one of my TOP supporters and receive exclusive updates from our campaign team, text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you for standing with me.
