Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D. NJ) in support of U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown’s (D. OH) re-election campaign:
Over the past year, we’ve seen many news alerts that can make us feel hopeless—from Congressional Republicans repeatedly trying to take away health care from millions of Americans; to Congress passing the disastrous Trump tax bill that cuts taxes for the wealthiest Americans while hurting middle class and low-income Americans; to yet another offensive tweet from our president.
But through the volatile political climate—there is hope. We saw it just last week in Alabama. Thousands of people volunteered, donated, and talked with their friends and family about the race. Because of that spirit of activism, we were able to clinch a win for Doug Jones.
Now, we have to do that again for my friend Sherrod Brown.
Sherrod is up for reelection in Ohio in 2018 and, as you and I both know, America can’t afford to lose a progressive champion like him in the Senate. Sherrod is and has always been dedicated to giving working and middle-class Americans a voice at the table.
This is a chance to show our strength. Chip in $10 right now to help reelect one of my strongest allies, Sherrod Brown, to the Senate.
We need to go all-in for our friends with tough races. In 2012, special interests spent $40 million trying to defeat Sherrod. Imagine the money they’re going to spend against him after our extraordinary win in Alabama.
If we all work together, stay involved, and lift up each others’ voices—Sherrod can and will win. Can I count on you to chip in a few dollars to his campaign?
Thank you for stepping up to help Sherrod.
In solidarity,
Cory
