BioSince January of 2007, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown – a leading progressive in the Senate – has held more than 150 community roundtables across Ohio’s 88 counties with local leaders and business owners, entrepreneurs and educators, and workers and families to find ways to rebuild our economy. Recently described as “Congress’ leading proponent of American manufacturing,” Brown is working with the Obama Administration on the creation of a national manufacturing policy that would invest in manufacturing innovation, strengthen our component supply chain, connect workers with emerging industries, and ensure our trade policies reflect our national interests. He is also working with Ohio’s universities, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to help utilize Ohio’s natural resources to create new jobs in new industries and make Ohio a national leader in clean energy manufacturing. And as a long-time advocate for fair trade, Senator Brown is fighting to ensure our trade practices promote our workers and industries while creating jobs and expanding markets for businesses. A tireless advocate for our nation’s middle class families, Sherrod Brown helped pass historic health insurance reform that will reduce private insurance premiums and provide more insurance options so that Americans can access affordable coverage. This new law will also provide strong consumer protections that will prevent insurers from discriminating against consumers based on age or pre-existing health conditions or placing limits on the amount of care consumers receive each year. For the last two years, Senator Brown has also convened a one-of-its-kind Ohio College Presidents Conference in Washington to discuss ways to leverage federal resources to promote higher education and job training in Ohio. Brown is just the sixth Ohio Senator in history to sit on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee where he will ensure Ohio receives its fair share of federal resources and investments. He also sits on the Senate Banking Committee, and is Chairman of its Subcommittee on Economic Policy, where he played an instrumental role in passing historic Wall Street reform legislation. From his position on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, Brown is a staunch supporter of providing comprehensive benefits to our nation’s veterans, even as an early and outspoken opponent of the Iraq War. Brown is also the first Ohio Senator in 40 years to sit on the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee where he serves as Chairman of its Subcommittee on Hunger, Nutrition, and Family Farms. Prior to serving in the United States Senate, Brown served seven terms as a United States Congressman for the 13th District, two terms as Ohio’s Secretary of State, and has taught in Ohio’s public schools and at Ohio State University. He is married to Pulitzer Prize-winning Columnist Connie Schultz. They reside in Avon, Ohio, and have three daughters, a son, and a grandson all of whom make Ohio their home.
