Sherrod Brown comfortably outraises Jon Husted as outside groups enter Ohio’s U.S. Senate race

Sherrod Brown raised $14.1 million in direct donations and $3 million from an affiliated PAC in Q2 2026, while Jon Husted reported $3.4 million in direct donations and $4.3 million from three affiliated PACs. Brown’s campaign highlighted Husted’s prioritization of corporate interests, and Husted’s campaign claimed its total was the largest second-quarter fundraising by an Ohio Republican Senate candidate. This marks the third consecutive Ohio Senate race where the Democratic nominee’s fundraising exceeded the Republican’s.
