I never planned to run for office again. But when I see what’s happening in Washington, I know I can’t stand on the sidelines.
D.C. politicians are raising prices, gutting health care, and rigging the system to benefit their wealthy donors and corporate special interest friends. It’s government for the rich and powerful, always at the expense of workers.
That’s why, today, I’m getting back in the fight: I’m announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. I’m running to be a voice for Ohio families and to take on the billionaires and corporations that make it impossible for everyday folks to get ahead.
I’ve fought my entire life for the Dignity of Work – the idea that hard work should pay off for everyone, no matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of work you do. Whether you earn a salary or work for tips, are farming crops or raising kids, are going to school or caring for an aging parent.
I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished together in pushing this mission forward – from protecting pensions to lowering drug prices to holding Wall Street accountable. But right now, there is no one in Washington willing to keep this fight up, and hardworking families are paying the price.
Corporate profits are going up. Executive salaries are up. Even workers’ own productivity is up. Yet wages are flat, and the cost of living is rising.
We can build a future where workers share in the wealth they create and where hard work is truly valued – but it’s going to take a massive grassroots movement full of dedicated folks like you. That’s why I’m running for Senate again, and why I need to ask:
I love Ohio, and I love this country. And when you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work.
In solidarity,
Sherrod Brown
