Senator Sherrod Brown

U.S. Senator (D-OH)

A lifelong Ohioan, Senator Sherrod Brown has spent his career fighting for the Dignity of Work –
the idea that hard work should pay off for everyone, no matter who you are, where you live, or
what kind of work you do.

He has held nearly 500 roundtables across Ohio, because he believes the best ideas don’t come
out of Washington – they come from conversations with Ohioans. Senator Brown serves as
Chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. He also serves on the
Finance Committee, the Agriculture Committee, and is the longest serving Ohioan on the
Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

Sherrod was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio, where he earned his Eagle Scout award and
spent summers working on his family’s farm. He is married to author and Pulitzer Prize-winning
columnist Connie Schultz. They live in Cleveland, Ohio, with their rescue dogs, Franklin and
Walter, drive Jeeps made by union workers in Toledo, and have three daughters, a son, a
daughter-in-law, three sons-in-law, and eight grandchildren.
