I’ll be radically transparent with you: We need to do something different today.
Over the last 48 hours, our grassroots fundraising has taken a nosedive. Folks just aren’t chipping in as much as we thought they would – even though the latest poll of Ohio shows this race statistically tied and we urgently need more resources to surge ahead.
So I’m going to try something out of the ordinary. I’m going to lower my ask to $1 in the hopes that every person reading this message donates to help us close the gap.
If you can give $1, thank you. If you can give more, that’s great. The most important thing is that we see thousands of donations come through the door today.

Exaggeration/Hyperbole: The rhetorical question exaggerates or distorts Husted's position to make it sound absurd — for example: reducing a policy argument to 'bunny ears for televisions'.
Loaded Language: Emotionally charged words chosen to trigger a reaction rather than convey facts.
Appeal to Prejudice: The sentence invokes rural identity as an in-group whose interests are being ignored by an out-group politician — for example: 'lives of rural Ohioans'.

Folks, we just got some news that could turn this race on its head:
According to The New York Times, Elon Musk is planning to pour more than $100 million into buying the Senate – and Ohio is one of his first targets. And he’s not doing this alone. His operation is coordinating with the Koch network and other dark-money groups to flood the airwaves and drown us out.
This is the same Elon Musk who gutted programs that Ohio families rely on and became the world’s first trillionaire while everyday people struggled with rising costs.
Now, he wants to buy Ohio's Senate seat too.
We can’t let Elon Musk and other billionaire backers decide who represents Ohio. That’s why my team just launched an urgent $200,000 rapid-response goal, and I need your help RIGHT NOW to hit it.
This kind of money could make or break our campaign. And Musk has virtually unlimited resources to use to try and buy access, power, and control.
This race is already shaping up to be the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history, and now Musk is about to hit us with a tsunami of tens of millions more.
We have no room for error. If we don’t respond NOW, Musk’s money will tip this race before we can fight back.
That’s why our $200,000 rapid-response goal matters so much. We need to prove that our grassroots team won’t let a billionaire buy this Senate seat. Your $5 might not seem like much against $100 million, but believe me, everything adds up when thousands of folks chip in a few dollars at a time. Please chip in today if you can. It has never been more important.

I just took a huge risk. Help me make sure it pays off.
I’m no stranger to tough fights.
Heck, I’m the only Democrat in Ohio who’s won statewide over the past two decades.
But with election analysts projecting that spending could reach $749 million in this race – breaking the record for most expensive U.S. Senate race in history – and a recent poll showing me 3 points down, I had to do something I don’t usually do to fight back immediately.
I made the decision to go up with new campaign ads, knowing full well that we didn’t have the money in the budget for them yet.
The GOP is hammering me with false attack ads, and we have to reach voters with the truth before it’s too late. That’s what these new ads will do – but now, I need your help to keep them running all across Ohio.
Will you chip in before the midnight deadline so we can spread our message far and wide, respond to the GOP’s attacks, and flip this crucial seat?

Friend, this is a five-alarm fire. NYT reports Elon Musk is planning to funnel $100M+ to buy the Senate for Republicans, and Ohio is his top target. He’s teaming up with Koch network's dark money to bury us in ads.
This is the guy who gutted programs that Ohio families rely on while becoming a trillionaire.
We're fighting back. Help us reach our $200K emergency goal by rushing $25 to prove the ultra wealthy can't buy Ohio's Senate seat.
Hey, it's Mark Kelly. I've spent my life around leaders – in the Navy, NASA, and the Senate. And I can tell you: Sherrod Brown is a true leader and one of the toughest fighters for working families I've ever met.
I watched him up close in the Senate. When a vote was hard, he asked one thing: Is this good for the people who make this country work? And he never sold out. Not once. That's rare in Washington.
Now he's in a battleground race in Ohio. It’s a toss-up race that could decide which party controls the Senate. The GOP is pummeling him with $100M in attack ads because they know they might lose this seat. Will you chip in to help him fight back?
Look, I've been the candidate buried in attacks, wondering if support would come through. It did, because good people stepped up.
Sherrod has spent his whole career having working people's backs. Let's have his now.
Thank you,
Mark Kelly

A woman with dementia and a walker, dumped at a shelter that already had 100 people on its waiting list. Seven Ohio nursing homes did this, federal inspectors found — and Jon Husted co-wrote the 2002 law that made those facilities harder to sue, cutting the window to file suit and blocking inspection findings from court. He's since taken more than $1 million from the nursing home industry, and NBC4 found nursing home PACs and lobbyists have given at least $34,000 more to his Senate campaign this year alone.

The Senate adjourned for its August recess after passing a government funding bill, confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general, and advancing a Russia sanctions package, but the SAVE America Act was not brought to a vote.
Sen. Jon Husted pushed to bring the election security bill to the Senate floor, arguing it would strengthen voter integrity through measures such as photo ID requirements, but Democrats blocked the effort and Republicans lacked the support needed to advance it.
GOP leaders now plan to revisit elements of the legislation through a budget reconciliation package when Congress returns in September, which would allow Republicans to bypass a Senate filibuster.

🚨 U.S. Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) took to the Senate floor to defend Ohio's photo voter ID law, arguing the measure boosted — rather than suppressed — electoral participation, and calling for similar requirements to be adopted nationwide.
Sen. Husted pointed to Ohio's 71.71% turnout in the 2024 presidential election, claiming the state recorded its second-highest voter turnout across the last four presidential elections since the photo ID law took effect. Husted, who served as Ohio Secretary of State from 2011 to 2019 before being appointed to the Senate in January 2025, framed the data as proof that voter ID laws do not disenfranchise voters.
His remarks came during Senate debate over the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — legislation that would require proof of citizenship at voter registration and photo ID at the polls. The bill, sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and championed by President Trump, passed the House in February 2026 and was also folded into the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act. Ohio's own photo ID law, House Bill 458, was signed by Gov. Mike DeWine (R) on January 6, 2023. Ohio Secretary of State data shows the number of ballots rejected due to missing ID rose from 698 in November 2022 to 3,820 in November 2023 after the law took effect.
Do voter ID laws strengthen election integrity, or do rising ballot rejections signal a barrier to access? 👇

🚨NEW AD ALERT: Liberal Senator Sherrod Brown spent 32 years putting illegal immigrants ahead of Ohio families - and sticking Ohio taxpayers with the bill.
Jon Husted will always fight for the people who elected him, not those who broke our laws.
Name CallingScapegoatingAppeal to PrejudiceLoaded LanguageExaggeration/HyperboleBlack-and-White FallacyGlittering Generalities100.0% of sentences flagged
Name Calling: The label 'Liberal' is used as a derogatory political tag to discredit Senator Brown rather than address his policy record — for example: Liberal Senator
Scapegoating: The sentence implies that illegal immigrants are the cause of harm to Ohio families and taxpayers, framing a complex policy issue as a simple blame narrative — for example: putting illegal immigrants ahead of Ohio families
Appeal to Prejudice: The framing of 'Ohio families' and 'Ohio taxpayers' as an in-group being harmed by an out-group exploits local identity and loyalty to generate resentment — for example: Ohio families
Loaded Language: The phrase 'sticking Ohio taxpayers with the bill' uses emotionally charged language to imply financial betrayal and exploitation — for example: sticking Ohio taxpayers with the bill
Exaggeration/Hyperbole: The claim that Brown spent 32 years consistently prioritizing illegal immigrants over Ohio families is an extreme overstatement of a complex legislative record — for example: spent 32 years putting illegal immigrants ahead of Ohio families
Black-and-White Fallacy: The sentence presents only two groups — law-abiding voters and lawbreakers — implying there is no middle ground or complexity, forcing a binary framing — for example: 'the people who elected him' vs 'those who broke our laws'
Glittering Generalities: The word 'fight' is used as a vague, emotionally positive term implying strength and dedication without specifying any concrete action or policy — for example: 'will always fight for the people'

re: my decision.
I’m no stranger to tough fights or razor-thin margins.
But shortly after Republican Jon Husted and the GOP started pouring a combined $81 million into this race to defeat me, I had to do something out of the ordinary.
I made the risky decision to approve new digital ads – knowing full well that we don’t have the money for them yet.
With experts predicting that this race could be the closest in the country, and with polls showing us neck and neck, failing to respond in this moment could put our chances of flipping Ohio in jeopardy.
But now, I need your help to close this critical budget gap. Will you chip in before the midnight deadline so we can reach more voters with our ads and win in Ohio?
I’m getting drowned out by $133 million in attack ad spending.
We need today to be one of our biggest fundraising days so we can fight back.
I know most folks aren’t able to chip in right now, but I’m hoping you’ll be the exception. If you want to flip Ohio and take back the Senate this November, will you please donate?

Loaded Language: The phrase 'power grab' is emotionally charged, implying illegitimate seizure of control rather than describing a neutral political action — for example: 'power grab'
Name Calling: Labeling the action as a 'Republican power grab' frames the opposing party as acting in bad faith without addressing the substance of the action — for example: 'Republican power grab'

🚨 Sen. Jon Husted takes to the Senate floor to honor Rittman Police Sgt. Scott Ries, a 31-year law enforcement veteran killed in the line of duty on July 5, 2026.
Sgt. Ries, 54, was shot and killed while responding to a disturbance call near 90 Chippewa Trail in Rittman, Ohio. Upon arrival, officers came under immediate gunfire. Four other officers and a Wayne County Sheriff's Office K-9 were also shot. Sgt. Ries had served the Rittman Police Department for 10 years and was promoted to sergeant in 2023 — a badge his wife, Michelle, proudly pinned on him herself.
Sen. Husted honored Sgt. Ries as a devoted husband, father, and community member, keeping Michelle, their children, and his fellow officers in his prayers. Gov. Mike DeWine ordered flags flown at half-staff across Wayne County and at the Ohio Statehouse in his memory. Sgt. Ries served Ohio for 31 years — a true public servant who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting others.

You wake up the day after Election Day ...
We want you to imagine what it will feel like waking up the morning after Election Day. Really imagine.
You wake up, roll over to look at your phone, and see the headline: “Sherrod Brown Flips Ohio. Democrats Take Senate Majority.” You feel proud knowing you chipped in to help push us over the finish line. Your morning coffee has never tasted better.
But there’s another scenario that’s just as possible: Wake up. Roll over. Headlines. Your stomach drops. Republican Jon Husted wins by a razor-thin margin. You didn’t get involved because you thought others would – or that your donation wouldn’t make much of a difference.
The truth is, this race will come down to a handful of votes. That means a handful of grassroots donations could be the tipping point. Including your donation.
And right now, you have the power to help decide which scenario we’ll all be waking up to on Nov. 4.
That’s why we’re asking you to chip in today to help make the first scenario come true. Sherrod needs your support to win in Ohio and bring our fight for working people to the Senate. Can he count on you today?
Thank you,
Team Sherrod

If everyone reading this chipped in $25 to our campaign right now, we would be able to reach our midnight fundraising goal in minutes. But we know that $25 is a lot, so not everyone can or will make that donation. That’s why we’re doing something different today.
We’re lowering our ask to just $1. Yes, just $1. That’s not a typo.
We figure that if everyone gives just $1, we can still continue closing our budget gap in a meaningful way – and it will show the GOP dark-money PACs spending big against me that I’ve got a massive grassroots team by my side that’s not giving up without a fight.
So please, will you chip in $1 today to fuel our movement, flip Ohio, and take back the Senate?

Then, National Republicans announced they're pouring $81 million into Ohio to stop our campaign – the most they're spending in any battleground state.

I need your immediate grassroots support to fight back and win. So please, will you chip in and help me reach my midnight fundraising goal?
Appeal to FearLoaded LanguageFalse Urgency20.0% of sentences flagged
Appeal to Fear: Creates anxiety about being overwhelmed by powerful outside forces (super PACs pouring in millions) to trigger an emotional response and implied call to action — for example: framing the situation as a dire threat requiring urgent support.
Loaded Language: Uses emotionally charged words to frame the opponent's actions as malicious and dishonest rather than simply competitive — for example: 'smearing my name'.
False Urgency: The phrase 'I'm falling behind' combined with the description of mounting opposition creates artificial time pressure implying immediate action is needed — for example: 'I'm falling behind' signals a crisis moment demanding response.

Is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in to my Senate campaign today?
What if I told you that experts at The Cook Political Report just upgraded our chances of winning, now officially ranking this race a Toss Up?
What if I told you that the GOP is set to pour almost $80 million into Ohio to defeat me – more than in any other battleground in the country?
What if I told you that they’re spending that much because the path to retaking Senate control runs straight through Ohio – and new polling shows this race neck and neck?
So please, will you chip in what you can to help me flip Ohio AND the Senate?
Folks, this isn’t good. The GOP and dark-money PACs are pouring millions into Ohio to defeat me, and it looks like their attacks are working: New polling shows me 3 points down to Republican Jon Husted in this Senate race.
Without your immediate grassroots support, I’ll have no chance to fight back and win. So please, will you chip in whatever you can today?

Not paid ads. These come from an officeholder's official channel: they are publicly funded and may not contain campaign content, so they are a different kind of speech from the ads above and are not counted with them. We show the same technique analysis; their claims are not checked, because an office's figures are mostly documented by its own press releases.

I'm here outside the Lima Tank Plant. I was just in there watching the workers build uh the tanks that keep America's war fighters safe. And we're going to get more funding for this facility, a new generation of investment to upgrade this place to make the the next uh generation of weapon systems, which will provide secure jobs for the people that work at the Lima Tank Plant, and the 227 companies around the state of Ohio that are part of the supply chain for this. So, very, very important facility. It's important that we uh continue to support uh the best weapon system for America's military, and we make them right here in Ohio.

Cathy Will, Lancaster, Ohio. I am a lifelong Ohio citizen. I uh was in the process of registering for Medicare and had worked with the local office. I was told that I wouldn't be able to register because the time had lapsed. So, I reached out to the senator's office and um I I was amazed, absolutely amazed at the contact. I do believe I received a response from an email within a day or two. Oh, the team at Senator Husted's office is wonderful with a capital W. The response was so timely. The team was able to approach their contacts in the Medicare office and explain the situation. I think it was approximately 1 month it was handled and I had my part B coverage. I received it in a timely fashion and I was able to make my appointments to take care of my medical concerns. If you have an issue that you're having trouble with resolution, I highly recommend it calling Senator Husted's office and talking to someone there. There's also an online um possibility and they are wonderful communication and also wonderful productivity and resolution.

Husted: It's time to empower first-time homebuyers
Official office video · Senator Jon Hustedvideo · 1:07from 2026-08-20
When I got appointed to the US Senate, I committed myself to focusing on issues that matter to working families in Ohio. One of those things is making life more affordable for them. Home ownership is one of those issues. Home ownership has long been considered part of achieving your version of the American dream. But it's become difficult for many working families to afford housing and particularly for young people to have the hope that they can buy a home. That's why I'm leading a bipartisan firsttime home buyer empowerment act. This bill would allow people to use unused 529 college savings, of which 40% of Ohioans with children have these accounts. It would allow them tax-free to use these accounts towards a down payment for first-time home purchase. By freeing up existing resources, we're helping Ohioans get closer to buying that first home so they can achieve their version of the American dream. It's so important that we help young people off to a good start. Giving them flexibility on how they use 529 accounts is one of those things.

Husted: It's time for a national voter ID law 08 08 26
Official office video · Senator Jon Hustedvideo · 1:22from 2026-08-08
Madam President, >> the gentleman from Ohio is recognized. >> Madame President, using a photo ID to vote is common sense. It's an issue Americans broadly support. So tonight, this early morning, I'm offering a clean, simple, straightforward bill to require a photo ID to vote in America. Voters can use a driver's license, a stateisssued ID, passport, military or veterans ID, or tribal ID. No additional restrictions, no tricks, no games, no prohibitions on absentee voting. 36 states require some form of voter ID. Photo ID laws have been tested in elections across this country and they work. So, so tonight I'm asking my colleagues to answer one simple question. Should you have to prove who you are when you vote? Americans think we should, and tonight we'll find out if their senators agree. I urge my colleagues to vote yes on this bill to establish a nationwide photo ID standards and give Americans better run, honest, and fair elections. Madame President, I yield the floor.

What this page is
An ad is on this page because its own "Paid for by" line is a campaign in this race; or it comes from a national Senate group and ran mostly in OH; or it ran mostly in OH and names a candidate — unless its sponsor is a campaign for some other office. Ads from outside groups appear alongside the campaigns' own.
Campaigns run one text as many separate ads. Identical text from the same sponsor is one card here, marked with its number of variants.
A technique is a specific manipulative move in the wording, found by our model and explained in one line. It is not a claim that the ad is false.
Claims are checked when a reader asks: press "Check this ad's claims" on a card. The check runs once and its result is shown to everyone afterwards. The ten ads with the most money behind them in each race are checked ahead of time.
Claim verdicts say what the cited sources say. A verdict that an ad is wrong or misleading is shown only when it cites an established fact-checker or an institutional record — Congress, a federal agency, a court — and its confidence is not low; a weaker one is not shown at all. Each verdict shows what it rests on and how confident it is. If we got one wrong, press Disagree: a verdict that readers dispute and no one defends comes down.
Video ads come from the campaigns' own YouTube channels; the transcript is analyzed. Meta ads are analyzed on their text; their video and images are not, yet.
