Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D. OH) in support of former Governor Ted Strickland's (D. OH) U.S. Senate campaign:
Ted Strickland and I have a lot in common. We were both born and raised in Ohio. We served together in the House of Representatives. And we both know what it’s like to put up with outside attacks in a Senate race.
Hours after Ted announced that he was running in 2016, Republicans pounced. They’ve already got a website up, twisting the truth of his work for Ohio families.
Special interests spent $40 million against me in my last election. The same groups that came after me are going to come after Ted this time.
And Ted’s going to need the same support I had to fight against them -- your support.
Ted’s coming up on a big FEC deadline at the end of the month -- and he needs to reach his goal before June 30th. Make a contribution today to help Ted fight back.

I’ve known Ted for a long time. He’s a champion for middle class Ohioans. He’s spent his life working to create opportunities for working families.
In the House, Ted stood with Ohio workers, voting against NAFTA and fighting for smart investments in infrastructure and technology. As our state’s governor, Ted held tuition rates to some of the lowest in the nation.
This is a big month for Ted. Everyone knows he has the right values for Ohio -- now they need to know he’s got the grassroots power to back it up. That’s why hitting his FEC goal in time is so important.
If you're able, give $5 or whatever you can afford to help Ted today.

Thank you.
