The debate clearly showed that Sherrod fights for all Ohioans—including the five million with pre-existing conditions.
5 million Ohioans have pre-existing conditions.
That doesn’t matter to @RepJimRenacci, who would put protecting pre-existing conditions in jeopardy. pic.twitter.com/LXTizdZ9c5

Meanwhile, Renacci wants to cut funding for programs that people across the state depend on.
To pay for the $1.5 trillion tax giveaway to the wealthiest 1%, @RepJimRenacci wants to cut funding for:
• Social Security
• Medicare
• MedicaidRidiculous. #OHSenDebate pic.twitter.com/QlYKMdN2HU

And while Sherrod is standing up for Ohio students, it’s safe to say Renacci is not.
An entire generation is drowning in student debt, and Sherrod is committed to getting them relief.
Meanwhile, @RepJimRenacci has turned a blind eye to abuses by predatory lenders and opposed efforts to help students pay off their loans.

Just like how Sherrod fights back against unfair trade deals, while Renacci supports them.
Panama, Colombia and Korea, @RepJimRenacci supported them all.
Can't trust @RepJimRenacci to stand up to unfair trade. @SherrodBrown always has. #OHSenDebate https://t.co/kIlGXW6y5X
