Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D. OH):
We know that the Koch brothers and their special interest allies have set a sharp focus on Senate races this year. They want to keep the Senate in the hands of their allies -- and they’ll spend millions to do it.
Our focus on helping Democrats win Senate races this year has to be just as sharp.
Today I want to introduce you to two Democrats that can help us take back the Senate: Katie McGinty in Pennsylvania and Patty Judge in Iowa. If we help them, you can bet they’ll be helping me fight for our shared values in the Senate.

Katie McGinty - PA
The Center for Politics and the Cook Political Report both call Katie’s race in Pennsylvania a “toss up.” Over the past year, Katie has worked hard, traveled the state, and managed to turn a 20-point deficit into a virtual tie.
Katie’s impressive -- her record, her background, and her drive to win are proof of that. She’s in one of the toughest races in the country, and she’ll never back down.
But Katie can’t win this alone. Her opponent started off with more than $9 million, and the special interests are all over this race. She could use our help.
Will you give $5, $10, or more to help Katie’s team out?
Patty Judge - IA
I know what you’re thinking -- Iowa? Really? Do Democrats really have a shot to win that Senate seat?
Yes, really. Patty has turned this long-shot into a single digit race. One poll even had her just one point down.
Patty is an incredible candidate for Iowa. She was the lieutenant governor, state secretary of agriculture, and is a lifelong farmer. She understands the unique concerns of a rural state and she’s ready to hit the ground running in the U.S. Senate.
Patty’s team wants to get 5,000 grassroots donations in the door to stay strong. Please, if you can, be one of the 5,000 by making a contribution.
Katie and Patty are two women we need in the Senate. Their voices would help us get so much accomplished. I look forward to working with them.
Thank you for supporting them today.
