Local Sheriffs Join Sherrod in Toledo to Endorse His Reelection

TOLEDO, OH – Today, Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, a Republican, and Lucas County Sheriff Michael J. Navarre, a Democrat, joined Senator Sherrod Brown to endorse his reelection campaign.

The Sheriffs highlighted Sherrod’s work writing and passing the bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act alongside Ohio law enforcement, which will keep Ohioans and law enforcement safe from dangerous fentanyl by cracking down on the chemical suppliers in China and drug traffickers in Mexico. Sherrod is also fighting to pass the Social Security Fairness Act to ensure law enforcement officers receive the full social security benefits they deserve.

“The three of us may come from different parties, and we may not agree on everything, but we always come together for the people we serve,” said Senator Sherrod Brown. “When Ohio law enforcement told me they needed new, better equipment to stay safe and do their jobs, I listened. I worked with Ohio law enforcement and Republicans to pass the FEND Off Fentanyl Act and make sure Ohio officers have the resources they need to protect Ohio communities. That’s how you get things done and that’s how I’ll always approach this job.”

“When I endorse a candidate, it’s never based on party or partisanship – it’s about who can do the best job. As a lifelong Republican, I don’t always see eye-to-eye with Sherrod, but when it comes to supporting Ohio law enforcement and communities, no one has done more for Ohio than Sherrod Brown,” said Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn. “Sherrod took what he heard from Ohio law enforcement and border patrol agents back to Washington, where he worked with local law enforcement, the Fraternal Order of Police, and Republicans to keep Ohioans safe from dangerous fentanyl. This isn’t the first time Sherrod worked across the aisle to keep Ohio communities and law enforcement safe, and it won’t be the last.” 

“Sherrod has always been a steadfast ally for local law enforcement. He stands with the men and women who put their lives on the line every day, and he fights to make sure we have the tools we need to do our jobs effectively,” said Lucas County Sheriff Michael J. Navarre. “We never have to wonder about where Sherrod stands: he always stands with Ohioans.”

Sherrod will always fight to make sure Ohio law enforcement officers have the resources they need to keep Ohio communities safe and the benefits they deserve: 

  • Sherrod worked with Republicans to successfully pass the FEND Off Fentanyl Act to protect Ohioans from dangerous fentanyl and provide resources to law enforcement to keep fentanyl out of Ohio communities.

  • Sherrod is leading the Social Security Fairness Act to secure full Social Security benefits for law enforcement and first responders.

  • Sherrod secured funding for the Department of Justice’s COPS hiring program allowing Ohio law enforcement to hire over 500 additional officers.

  • Sherrod leads a letter every year urging a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee to provide funding for the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program.

  • Sherrod led the fight to pass the INTERDICT Act to give border patrol officers the latest technology to detect opioids before law enforcement officers are exposed or opioids can make it into Ohio communities.

  • Sherrod introduced the Law Enforcement Training For Mental Health Crisis Response Act to keep officers safe by providing training on how to interact with individuals with mental health illnesses and de-escalate potentially dangerous situations.
