I am going to miss Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown

https://www.cleveland.com/opinion/2024/12/ohio-i-hope-you-know-what-youre-giving-up-in-sherrod-brown-christine-m-neumerski.html

This is an excellent tribute to our Senator. I will never be able to understand how our state voted for Moreno over him. Senator Brown has shown us over & over again what a kind, compassionate, person he is. He has shown us over & over again that he is willing to fight for those who are struggling & just trying to stay afloat. Ohio really messed up on this one.

of not missing their water until the well runs dry. Strange elections this year.

That Ohio chose car salesman and grifter Moreno over our beloved Sherrod Brown.

It defies explanation. Then again we elected J.D. Vance …..

If someone asked me to name someone who always fights for the working class, Sherrod Brown would be one of my top answers. Bernie Moreno would not. I don't get it at all, either.

voting against their interests!
You now have indisputable proof of how powerful RW Media is today. Most Ohio voters never heard of his hard work because fox and sinclair dominate the news coverage and Senator Sherrod Brown doesn't exist in their coverage.

14. I hope he attempts a comeback, he's probably our strongest candidate for Vance's seat in a special election.
