Ohio’s US Senate election this year is critical not only for our state, but for the nation. The result of this election is likely to decide which party controls the Senate, regardless of who wins the presidency.

Ohio’s Senior Senator, Sherrod Brown, has been in political office for 50 years, since his graduation from Yale University. Unlike the vast majority of Ohioans, Brown has never had a job that did not hand him a taxpayer-funded paycheck. When Brown was first elected to Congress in 1993, he endorsed term limits for lawmakers in Washington. Now, decades later, he is running for his fourth term in the Senate after a lengthy career in various political offices. What changed the Senator’s mind about term limits? Power in Washington.

Brown claims to be fighting for Ohio, but he has only ever been a rubber-stamp for the Democrat agenda in Washington. Brown was a reliable vote for Barack Obama’s ultra-liberal agenda, opposed President Trump’s America-First policies at every turn, and has voted with the Biden-Harris radical agenda nearly one-hundred percent of the time. Brown is not working for the best interests of Ohio, he is working to pass the most radical liberal policies possible.

Brown helped Biden and Harris usher in the most liberal agenda in American history. Under their watch, the southern border has become overrun, millions of illegal immigrants have entered our nation, the economy has flatlined, war has been declared on American energy, and chaos has exploded on the world stage. This administration was handed a booming economy, American energy independence, a secure southern border, and peace in the Middle East. With Brown’s help, Biden and Harris have wreaked havoc at home and abroad.

While Brown claims to fight for Ohio manufacturing and workers, 200,000 manufacturing jobs have been shipped out of Ohio while he has been in office. And currently, the influx of millions of illegal migrants who have crossed the border under this administration has lowered wages for hardworking Ohioans. Brown is no champion for Ohio’s workers.

Our Republican nominee, Bernie Moreno, is running to unseat Brown and undo the damage caused by Biden, Harris, and Brown. Bernie will work with President Trump to secure our southern border, stop the flow of illicit fentanyl, fix our economy, make America energy independent once again, and return to peace abroad.

Brown is a slick, career politician who is attempting to fool Ohioans into believing he fights for them. Don’t let him. Vote for Bernie Moreno on November 5th.
