Sherrod Brown Holds Toledo For Sherrod Kick-Off Event

COLUMBUS, OH – Yesterday, Sherrod Brown held a Toledo for Sherrod kick-off event. Sherrod was joined by Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz, Maumee City Schools Board of Education member Allison Fiscus, Bishop Talmadge Thomas, and Ohioans who are ready to elect a senator who will put workers before billionaires.

“Ohio workers are more productive than ever. But no matter how hard you work, your pay is not keeping up and you can’t get ahead,” said Sherrod Brown. “And no one in Washington is standing up to these corporations who game the system and raise your prices. Special interest Jon Husted says Ohioans don’t know how to navigate the ‘real world’ and that your work ethic is just ‘broken.’ Ohioans won’t stand for this rigged system any longer. Ohio is fighting back.”

Read more on Jon Husted’s affordability crisis that’s hurting Ohioans: 

• As Husted actively makes life harder for Ohio families, he says that struggling Ohioans aren’t “experienced at navigating the real world,” that they should “earn more” money, and calls their work ethic “broken.”
• Because of Husted’s efforts to cut deals to bring data centers to the state, Ohioans have seen their utility bills skyrocket.
  • Ohio saw the second largest utility rate increase in the country.
  • As families struggle with soaring bills, Husted blamed Ohioans for bringing data centers to Ohio.
• Jon Husted has done nothing but watch as gas and grocery prices soar, leaving hardworking families to foot the bill.
• In the Senate, Husted has voted nine times to increase health care premiums on Ohio families — all to help pay for the largest tax cut for billionaires in history.
• As Ohio small businesses face skyrocketing costs, Jon Husted voted three times against reining in reckless tariffs saying “you don’t hear from the ones that love it.”
  • After the Supreme Court ruled some tariffs unconstitutional, Husted said tariff refunds should not go back to Ohioans who paid it.
