Democrat Sherrod Brown To Run For Senate Again In Ohio
HuffPost
The populist Ohio Democrat is making a comeback bid against freshman GOP Sen. Jon Husted next year.
Former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) is planning on making a comeback bid next year against Republican incumbent Sen. Jon Husted, according to Politico and The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Three Ohio labor leaders told the Plain Dealer that Brown had informed them of his decision to run for his old job again. The 72-year-old Ohio Democrat lost to Republican businessman Bernie Moreno in a hard-fought election last year after serving three terms in the Senate.
Brown has remained politically active since leaving Washington. He launched his Dignity of Work Institute, an organization that is focused on reducing the cost of living for working-class voters.
“Workers keep telling us the status quo is unacceptable, yet neither party has an agenda to create the dramatic change workers want,” Brown said earlier this year. “We need to fundamentally transform our economy to make working people the winners in our society.”
