Sherrod is a champion for quality, affordable healthcare for all Ohioans—not just those at the top. From fighting for the Affordable Care Act to protecting Medicaid expansion to defending the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Sherrod is a reliable, powerful voice in ensuring as many people as possible have the care they deserve.

No one’s access to the care they deserve should be determined by their zip code. And yet, that’s becoming the reality for too many Americans.
