Jon Husted thinks you should just budget

We're 75% of the way toward hitting our mid-month goal, friend!

And your $5 donation could put us over the top before our midnight deadline.

Your support right now is especially important because we know Jon Husted (R) is vulnerable: He's slipping in popularity, and two new polls show Sherrod SURGING into the lead.

But more than that, Husted is completely out of touch with what working families are going through. Just recently, he claimed Ohioans are NOT feeling the affordability crisis.

Umm … they are, Jon. They feel it at the grocery store and the gas pump. They feel it every single day.

This race couldn't be more clear. One side is backed by billionaires and corporate special interests. The other is powered by people like you.

Will you chip in $5 now to help us close the gap and defeat Jon "Everything Is Affordable" Husted?

DONATE

We're so close. Let's finish strong.

Team Sherrod

My decision.

Hey folks, it's Mark Kelly.

Seven years ago, I was making a decision about whether I was going to run for the Senate.

I knew it would be a lot of work. A lot of time away from home. A lot of time away from family. I knew it wouldn't be easy.

But after two years of Donald Trump and a Republican-held Senate doing just about everything he wanted, I knew I couldn't sit on the sidelines. I had to do something.

So, I ran. And, somehow, we won. And then we had to turn around and run all over again to win a full term after that. But thanks to your support, we won that one, too.

I'm grateful every day that I get to wake up, walk out the door, and defend our people, our democracy, and our Constitution. It's one of the greatest honors of my life. And I've never forgotten that I wouldn't be here without your help.

We've been in some tough fights before, but this one is different. The President of the United States threatened my life, personally. I've got the entire executive branch bearing down on me right now.

After everything you've already done for me, I shouldn't have to ask you for more. But that's what I need to do.

I'm asking you to split a donation between Off the Sidelines and me, and I hope you know that I wouldn't be asking if this wasn't important.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Mark Kelly and Off the Sidelines PAC will go through immediately:

DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT >>

Thank you.

With your help, we’re fighting back

Pamela, Donald Trump has decided on his slogan for the 2026 midterms: if you can't win on merits, win by silencing voters.

And while some of his more blatant power grabs – like forcing new voting maps and criminalizing his political opponents – are grabbing the headlines, there's one less flashy tool in his kit that might do more to silence voters next year than both of those combined.

Let's break it down: earlier this year, the Trump Administration had reached out to all 50 states demanding full copies of their voter files.

Why did they want all that info – including driver's license and even partial Social Security Numbers? So they can build a massive, unsecured data system of our personal information.

It's a surveillance dragnet straight out of the DOGE playbook: pool all our data in one place and potentially weaponize it against us in the future.

And to make matters worse, the Trump Administration is pooling Social Security data which is not updated to reflect changes in citizenship status, and they are using it to flag voters – claiming that they are non-citizens and therefore voting fraudulently. (Individuals who have become naturalized citizens have no systematic way to contact the SSA and tell them they have become naturalized.)

Let's be clear about what's happening here: Trump and MAGA are not following the laws Congress set out to guarantee our right to privacy.

It's simply un-American – and just plain wrong. So – with your help, we're fighting back:

Common Cause is taking legal action to push back – suing to stop the handover of voter data [3] and intervening in federal cases. [4]

And we're marshaling a tidal wave of public pressure from activists like you to speak out before the federal government weaponizes our personal data against us in violation of the Privacy Act. Together we also generated 54,136 comments filed within the past two months with the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security to object to the pooling of our data.

Pamela, Common Cause is blowing the whistle – and stopping Trump from building this juggernaut that could cost us all our right to privacy.

But we can't do that without you. If you're as concerned as I am about Trump's massive invasion of voter privacy – and ready to take action to stop it – can you rush a contribution of $5 or more today?

If you've saved your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:

CHIP IN $5	CHIP IN $10	CHIP IN $20	CHIP IN $35
CHIP IN $50	CHIP IN $100	CHIP IN OTHER AMOUNT

Thanks for all you do,

This is the work of a lifetime

I have a humble request to make today. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Folks, I have spent my working life trying to make people's lives better, and it has been more than worth it. Now, I am running for the U.S. Senate to continue that work, but our toss-up race is getting closer, and I need your help to win. Split a donation between our campaign and Heartland Patriots today to say you're with me.

I'm proud of what we have achieved together: expanding Medicaid. Getting raises for public school teachers. Investing in our clean energy economy.

The trust that North Carolinians have placed in me has meant so much. It gave me the opportunity to serve my home and allowed us to make real progress.

I didn't plan to go to Washington, but I got in this race for the U.S. Senate because that progress is on the line, along with so much more. For our state and for all Americans.

I will not sit by and watch while extreme politicians tear away the rights that so many fought for so long to secure. I will do everything in my power to protect our country. I know that this is the work of a lifetime.

And it is work that I cannot do alone, so I'm humbly asking you to stand with me.

I am asking you to invest in our work by splitting a contribution between our campaign and Heartland Patriots today. National Republicans are rallying around my far-right opponent to try to defeat me, and I can't overcome them alone. We can't let Michael Whatley gain any more ground.

I know that we can win together, just like we have before.

Gratefully,

Roy Cooper

Reaching out to you personally:

Team, it's Marc Elias.

I'm proud to be one of the leading lawyers in the ongoing fight to defend democracy and protect voting rights.

What we've seen in Texas, Indiana, Missouri, and North Carolina are Republican attempts to eliminate Democratic-held seats -- because Donald Trump and the House GOP know they can't win next year's election without rigging the system.

My law firm is currently litigating 65 voting and election cases in 30 states. We have plans for another dozen or so.

But one thing is abundantly clear right now: The 2026 midterms will be the deciding test for the future of our entire democratic system.

We have to do more than just match the GOP's energy -- we have to exceed it.

Democrats need to use every single tool available to us to fight back, win in 2026, and rescue our democracy from Trump. With just three seats between Democrats and the Majority, we'll never have a better opportunity to win. That's why I'm reaching out to you on behalf of the DCCC today: We need your grassroots support to start 2026 off on the right foot and bring this win home. Will you chip in $3 to the DCCC before the mid-month deadline expires to help Democrats flip the House?

DEMOCRATIC GIFTS REQUESTED: 28,168

ACTIVIST: kmyers209.shamrock5@blogger.com

Suggested Support: $3

House Democrats are just 1 day away from their LAST Mid-Month fundraising deadline of the year, and they still need 28,168 grassroots Democrats to step up with $3 to reach their critical goal.

Without strong support from grassroots Democrats like you, they'll miss their deadline and spend the rest of the year playing catch-up with the GOP's billionaire donors.

We cannot let Trump's Republicans have an edge over House Democrats.

So, I'm asking for your $3 to the DCCC before it's too late. Your support will help them make early investments in battleground races that will decide if Democrats can dismantle the MAGA Trifecta in 2026. Will you rush a $3 donation to the DCCC to help take the House back for Democrats?

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $3 immediately >>

Chip in $10 immediately >>

Chip in $27 immediately >>

We can't fall behind

Friend, it's Sherrod.

We've got just a few hours left to hit our mid-month fundraising goal, and this is a big one.

Here's why: Reaching this critical $100,000 goal helps set us up for 2026. Because once the new year begins, it's full speed ahead to Election Day.

If we're not ready, we'll lose ground fast, and we can't stop the momentum behind this campaign. Will you chip in $5 now to help us hit our goal and win in Ohio?

We've got a slight lead in two recent polls. But that edge won't last unless we have the resources to keep spreading our pro-worker message to Ohio voters.

This campaign is powered by grassroots donors, not billionaires or corporate special interests.

So, friend: Will you chip in $5 or more before midnight to help us close the gap, keep fighting for working people, and win in Ohio?
