Ohio Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown will seek reelection in 2024 for another term, as no Democrat won statewide during the recent midterm elections, according to Breitbart News.
Brown told Spectrum News, “I’m running in 2024. And I run to win. People recognize that I get up every day and fight for the dignity of work. Whether you swipe a badge or punch a clock or work for tips or work for a salary.”
Even after Republican J.D. Vance beat Rep. Tim Ryan by nearly seven points last week to fill the U.S. Senate seat and no Democrat won statewide, Brown — the current chair of the Senate Banking and Housing Committee said “there’s no question” a Democrat could win in the state.
“I think Ohio’s a hard state,” Brown said. “[Senate Republican Leader Mitch] McConnell came in and sort of buried [Ryan] at the end with a lot of money. And the governor’s race wasn’t close. The dynamics in Ohio are difficult.”
Notably, Brown is the only Democrat to win statewide in the last decade.
