Sherrod Brown vs. Bernie Moreno is now the most expensive Senate race in 2024
Source: ABC Cincinnati
CINCINNATI Ohio's race for U.S. Senate is one of the most expensive races in the country. Hundreds of millions of dollars are pouring into the state as outside groups try to sway your vote.
Political advertisements are running from Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown and Republican challenger Bernie Moreno. At the end of one of their ads, you will hear the candidate say their name, followed by "and I approve this message." Other political ads run by nonprofits and political action committees (PACs) will attack the opposing candidate.
Some of the political ads attacking Brown include ones from Senate Leadership Fund, a conservative PAC looking to build a Republican majority in the Senate. The political ads attacking Moreno include ones from WinSenate, a liberal PAC hoping to keep the Democratic majority.
Open Secrets, which tracks political spending, reports these outside groups have already spent nearly $259 million on the Ohio Senate race. That number from outside groups is only second to the presidential race.

They know Brown wants to regulate Crypto, and Crypto doesn't want that.

(14,939 posts)Sherrod Browns ads are excellent...they speak to the people, have pointed out and called Moreno a LIAR...with examples...
Every commercial break 2 Moreano adds to maybe 1-2 Brown ads.... but Browns ads speak directly to the people with local authentic citizens speaking...
Fingers crossed for Sherrod...He has my vote...
