Republican Senator Rob Portman is retiring, leaving Ohio’s Senate seat wide open. Republicans are fighting it out in a messy and expensive primary—giving us a stronger chance of flipping this seat blue.
Ohio already has a Democratic Senator. Sherrod Brown has proven that Ohioans want to elect a Senator who puts workers first.
A recent poll has me within single digits of my Republican opponents. It’s still early in the race, and the more we get our message out, the more voters we’ll win over.
Working people are fed up and ready for change. I’ve been traveling all over the state, and Ohioans are sick of handouts for big corporations and billionaires—they want good-paying jobs, health care they can afford, and a fair shot for their kids to succeed.
We have grassroots momentum. While my rich Republican opponents are propping up their campaigns with millions of their own dollars, we’re powered by folks who chip in $5, $25, or $100 at a time.
So, folks, we have a real path to winning this race—but it will take everything we have to pull it off.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions.

Will you join her and be the change we need?
