If we expect to continue our leadership in the global economy, we must invest in a long-term transportation plan -f or both highways and transit programs. Too many of our roads, bridges, and railways have fallen into disrepair. – Sherrod Brown
There’s no question there’s enough information available to all of us in this society for darn near anything. The problem is the quality of the information, the presentation of it… You shouldn’t have to be a lawyer. – Sherrod Brown
I’m disappointed that Senator DeWine once again chose to go along with his party leaders and their big corporate lobbyist supporters. Ohio deserves a Senator who will be more than a rubber stamp. – Sherrod Brown

Ohio is one of only two states that have a minimum wage below the federal level of $5.15 an hour. – Sherrod Brown
I have studied the details, listened to Ohioans on all sides of this issue, and consulted with nuclear experts. This deal is not about trusting the Iranian regime, but instead working with our allies on comprehensive, verifiable restrictions to block Iran’s pathways to a nuclear bomb without precipitating another war in the Middle East. – Sherrod Brown
We were told this war would be over in a matter of weeks, and that the Iraqis would be able to finance it with oil sales. We were promised it was not a mission of nation building. – Sherrod Brown
