Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D. OH) in support of Dr. Allison Russo’s (D. OH-15) campaign in the upcoming special election:
Allison Russo won her primary for the OH-15 special election, and she’s rapidly approaching the November 2nd general election. She has a real shot to win the race but she’s competing on the ballot against a special-interest lobbyist endorsed by Donald Trump.
Allison’s opponent has the power of Trump and special-interest groups on his side, and the Ohio GOP is making baseless attacks against Allison. But with a strong foundation of grassroots support, we can flip this critical seat from red to blue. Will you split a contribution between Allison’s campaign and mine?
This race is a prime example of one where we can mobilize to help elect leaders who will champion policies that honor the Dignity of Work.
Allison was raised in a working-class town by a single mom. I endorsed Allison because she understands the challenges facing Ohio families and she’s committed to building an economy that works for everyone -- not just lobbyists and special interests.
And Allison has a proven track record -- as a state representative in the Ohio legislature, she worked to bring down the astronomical cost of health care. And as the next Congresswoman for Ohio’s 15th, Allison is committed to creating good jobs and protecting Ohio workers’ right to organize for fair wages, better working conditions, and on-the-job safety.
The next FEC filing deadline is at the end of this month and Allison’s election is less than two months away. Your grassroots support could make a big difference in this race. Please consider splitting a contribution between Allison’s campaign and mine today.
With gratitude,
Sherrod
