Not arbitrary
Sherrod here. It’s been quite the weekend already, and I only have a few minutes before my next event. The energy I’m seeing all around Ohio is remarkable, and I feel so much pride seeing this campaign we’re building.
I’ll have more to share soon, but right now, I’m writing to you about something not-so-flashy: our TV budget. Before you roll your eyes:
I promise I wouldn’t be sharing this if it weren’t important.
This is the last chance we get.
Republicans have a 2:1 spending advantage against us. We’ve kept this a tight race – in large part because of committed supporters like you.
Right now, we have to get our closing message to voters on the air — we believe it is breaking through, and helping combat the barrage of attacks from Big Tech billionaires. If we’re going to win this race in 9 days, we need to keep our message on the air and reach the voters who will provide the margin of victory.
Tomorrow at 5 p.m. ET is the banking cutoff to wire money for our final set of TV ads. After that, we’ll need to pivot to spending our resources elsewhere. We already know the other side is spending $4 million a day over the airwaves. We can’t afford to pull back now.
We need to raise another $450,000 before 5 p.m. tomorrow to afford our final TV wire. This isn’t an arbitrary number. It’s exactly what we need to raise to keep these ads fully funded through Election Day.
Early voting is underway, but most voters have yet to cast their ballots.
The polls confirm this race will be close, and the undecided share of the vote is large enough to swing the outcome — that means every decision we make in moments like this could move the needle.
We won’t be able to match the other side on the airwaves dollar for dollar – not when they have half a dozen billionaires funding them. But this grassroots team has kept our message up anyway. That’s no small feat. Now, we have to sprint through the tape.
We can’t let Republicans outspend us so significantly – not when so many Ohioans make up their minds about their vote so close to the end of the election.
We have the right message at the right time — now we just need to get it out. If you can help us keep our final TV ads up, I can promise you it will make a real difference.

Before you click away! Republican spending in Ohio has reached $317 million, and Sherrod Brown is counting on your support to keep up. We can’t outspend them, but we can outwork them.
