Columbus Dispatch: Editorial Endorsement: For US Senate: Keep Sherrod Brown working for Ohioans Editorial Board—September 24, 2018 In Ohio’s contentious race for U.S. Senate, we support the proven performance of Sherrod Brown, Ohio’s Democratic senior senator, as worthy of a third six-year term. Jim Renacci, a Republican U.S. representative from Wadsworth and self-described “turn-around business […]
If you’re still unsure who the GOP’s tax scam was always meant to help, look no further than Wells Fargo. The banking giant is raking in profits. CEO Tim Sloan got a $4.6 million raise in March. But now Wells Fargo is about to downsize its workforce by 5-10%, putting tens of thousands of people […]

Reports out this week include some encouraging statistics—but as early as next year, the state of our country might look very different. Despite Republicans’ attempts to gut key programs like Social Security, SNAP, and Medicaid, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that those programs directly kept 44.9 million people out of poverty in 2017. That’s great […]
President Obama hit the campaign trail in the Buckeye State, leaving Team Sherrod energized for the work ahead. Here’s a glimpse into what President Obama said in Cleveland: — 1. “Give it up for your outstanding Senator, my former colleague Sherrod Brown. Love Sherrod Brown.” 2. “The broader story of America has been a story […]
Medicaid expansion is working. We’ve seen that here in Ohio: Before the Affordable Care Act, one in three people in or near poverty were uninsured. After the law passed, that’s dropped to one in eight. Recent reports show that states that expanded Medicaid cover more people, with more stability. But as this administration continues to […]
