The second Ohio Senate debate in 8 tweets
On Saturday, Sherrod took the stage for the second Ohio Senate debate with his opponent, multi-millionaire Congressman Jim Renacci.
Here were the main takeaways from the night—as told in tweets:
Even before the debate, supporters were excited to hear Sherrod’s message.
Sherrod fights for Ohioans every single day. Tonight, I’m standing with him. #TeamSherrod #WomenForSherrod

As the debate showed, Ohioans struggling as a result of the opioid crisis can count on Sherrod—not Renacci.
A reminder, @RepJimRenacci: Sherrod worked to secure $3 billion in additional funding to fight the opioid crisis.
But Congressman Renacci voted against key funding for prevention, treatment, and law enforcement efforts to address the crisis.

That’s because Renacci has voted against helping more Americans access the healthcare they deserve, including voting multiple times to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
.@SherrodBrown points out @RepJimRenacci's hypocrisy. Renacci talks about mental illness but his seventeen votes against the ACA would have dismantled the Medicaid expansion that helps thousands of Ohioans get access to mental health treatment #OHSenDebate #TeamSherrod

But here are a few key things Renacci hasn’t voted to change: He hasn’t taken action to make sure guns don’t end up in the wrong hands.
.@RepJimRenacci has an "A" rating from the NRA, along with their endorsement and money from their PAC.
We don't need another member of Congress in the NRA's pocket. #OHSenDebate

And he remained silent when thousands of children were being separated from their families.
When thousands of children were being separated from their families at the border, @RepJimRenacci refused to speak out.
His inability to criticize the policy shows he can’t be trusted to stand up for Ohio. #OHSenDebate

Meanwhile, Sherrod isn’t afraid to speak out—or work across the aisle—to help Ohioans get ahead.

That’s why it’s so important we keep him in the Senate.
The #FarmBill is essential to so many Ohioans.
From farmers to those that are hungry to conserving our lands.@SherrodBrown has worked across the political aisle to renew this legislation and so many that are impacted by its passage. #OHSenDebate #OHSen #TeamSherrod

Because it’s all about whom you fight for, and what you fight against.
This race is about whom you fight for and what you fight against.
