Sherrod Brown launched the return of the Ohio Senate after 2024 Loss

Former Sherrod Brown senator from Ohio launched his candidacy on Monday in 2026 to return to the US Senate, after last year’s re-election defeat in the hands of Now-Sen. Bernie Moreno.

“Take up the workers. Treating everyone with dignity and respect. Work as hard as possible for the residents of Ohio. I tried to live my life by these principles. But these days, this is not what is happening in Washington – so I run for the Senate,” said Brown in an article on social media when he highlighted his long -standing working class themes.

Brown, who spent more than three decades to represent Ohio in the House and later the Senate, was highly recruited by the best national democrats, including the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, who made two trips in the state of Buckeye to try to convince Brown to run again.

Husted has the approval of Trump as he presents himself next year to meet the last two years of the mandate of six years of Vance.

“This is why I run for the Senate. Because even in these difficult times, I always believe that if you defend workers, treat people with respect and that you always fight for Ohio, you can really make a difference,” he added.

Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Chairman of the Senate Democratic Senate Campaign (DSCC), argued in a press release that “nobody fights more hard for Ohio than Sherrod Brown. To secure the retirement of Ohioans and social benefits at Ohio-Ohioans.”
