Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
A lifelong Ohioan, Senator Sherrod Brown has spent his career figh8ng for the Dignity of Work – the idea that hard work should pay off for everyone, no maBer 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 conversa8ons with Ohioans.

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 seven grandchildren.
