Go on wikipedia.com, type in Ohio US Senators, click on list of United States Senators from Ohio link.
You will see that since 1920 OH US Senators
Simon Fess-R (1923-1935)
John Bricker-R (1947-1959)
Frank Lausche-D (1957-1969)
Mike DeWine-R (1995-2007)
have lost re-election after 12 years in office.
3 OH US Senators have served more than 2 terms.
Robert Taft Sr.-R 1939-1953- died in office during his 3rd term.
John Glenn-D 1975-1999- retired after 4 terms.
Howard Metzenbaum-D 1977-1995- retired after 3 terms.
Sherrod Brown won his first US Senate Race in 2006 by a 12 percent margin over Republican incumbent Mike Dewine and won re-election in 2012 by a 6 percent margin over Josh Mandel. Ohio is more Republican than it was in 2006/2012.
Sherrod Brown could win re-election because he is seen as a fighter of the working class and a check on the Trump Administration.
