Brown's campaign website stated the following:
ADVOCATING FOR THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY
“I respect the unique experiences of people with disabilities and work in the Senate to make sure every Ohioan has access to the care and resources they need. Like all of us, people with disabilities are supported by their families and communities who should also be recognized for their hard work, selflessness, and dedication.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
Fighting For Ohioans With Disabilities
Sherrod has worked to strengthen and modernize the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and has opposed efforts to weaken or undermine this critical legislation.
He has pushed to break down barriers to information and communications technologies for people with disabilities. He’s opposed legislation that would have made it easier for businesses to discriminate against people with disabilities.
Sherrod voted to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2012, affirming his commitment to protecting the rights of all people with disabilities.
Creating Opportunities For People With Disabilities
Sherrod voted for the bipartisan Workforce Innovation And Opportunity Act, which created job training programs for Ohioans of all abilities. With Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sherrod sponsored legislation to help veterans with service-related disabilities find good jobs.
Sherrod has fought to make sure that Ohioans with disabilities connected to their work, whether veterans wounded in service or miners with black lung, have access to the best possible care.
Championing Healthcare Access For All Ohioans
Throughout his career, Sherrod has worked to make sure every Ohioan, regardless of income, can get the healthcare they need. He helped pass the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which has extended healthcare coverage for 5 million Ohioans with preexisting conditions and expanded access to community-based care and habilitative and rehabilitative services like occupational therapy and speech pathology. Sherrod also fought for nearly two decades to establish parity for mental health coverage, which he helped codify as part of the ACA.
Sherrod supports ending limits on Medicaid coverage for mental health care and has joined Governor Kasich in fighting back attempts to gut the Medicaid expansion, which has helped nearly 500,000 Ohioans get mental and behavioral health treatment.
Advocating For Children With Disabilities
No one has fought harder than Sherrod to protect the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which serves nearly half of Ohio’s children with disabilities. Sherrod has worked for years to pass long-term funding for CHIP. In 2018 he co-sponsored the bill that successfully extended the program for the next six years.
Sherrod has worked to give children with disabilities the support they need in the classroom by supporting the Individuals With Disabilities Education (IDEA) Act, which benefits one in seven Ohio students, and by securing and protecting millions of dollars in funding for staff and services to help students with disabilities.
Making Social Security More Accessible
Sherrod has worked with Republicans and Democrats to decrease the backlog and wait times for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
He joined Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) in calling for full funding for the Social Security Administration and teamed up with Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) to do away with the five-month waiting period for individuals with terminal illnesses to access SSDI benefits.
Sherrod and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have worked together to expand Supplemental Security Income, which benefits nearly 300,000 Ohioans with disabilities.
CARING FOR OUR VETERANS
“We have no more important moral obligation than supporting the men and women who risk their lives in service to our country, and the family members who sacrifice so much to support their loved ones who serve.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Protecting Veterans’ Healthcare
Sherrod is committed to making sure that those who have put their lives in harm’s way to defend our country have access to the best healthcare possible. He helped secure the largest-ever increase in VA funding and has held the VA accountable for the disability claims backlog, long wait times, understaffing, and inadequate care.
Sherrod knows that comprehensive care for our veterans must include mental and behavioral care, and he helped pass the Female Veterans Suicide Prevention Act and the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act to expand treatment and support for those struggling with trauma and mental illness.
Creating Opportunities For Veterans
Sherrod is working to help servicemembers and veterans rejoin the civilian workforce, introducing and co-sponsoring the Wounded Warrior Employment Improvement Act, the VOW To Hire Heroes Act, and an expansion of the Yellow Ribbon Program to provide veterans with job training and placement services.
Sherrod’s Patriot Employer Tax Credit Act would reward companies that hire veterans and servicemembers. Solar by Soldiers, which he helped launch, trains veterans to succeed in Ohio’s clean energy economy. Sherrod has secured millions of dollars for career services and related support programs for Ohio’s veterans, and passed legislation that gives hiring preference to Gold Star families.
Investing In Veterans’ Education
For many who enlist, the military offers a pathway to an education that may otherwise be out of reach. In the Senate, Sherrod co-sponsored a law that permanently expanded GI Bill education benefits for post-9/11 veterans.
He has passed legislation that makes these benefits more flexible and accessible to the families of fallen soldiers. Sherrod has stood up for veterans targeted by shady for-profit colleges and worked to stop them from preying on those who have served in our military.
As part of his bipartisan GI Bill expansion, Sherrod saw to it that the veterans and servicemembers who had been taken advantage of by failed for-profit schools had their education benefits restored.
Working To End Homelessness For Veterans
Sherrod has secured millions of dollars to end homelessness and expand access to affordable housing for Ohio veterans.
Working with Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jack Reed (D-RI), Sherrod passed key provisions to ensure that no servicemember is discharged into homelessness.
Sherrod also worked with Senator Reed to introduce the Military Consumer Enforcement Act, which would protect veterans and their families from foreclosure and eviction.
Honoring Those Who Served
Sherrod is making sure we recognize the courage and sacrifice of those who serve. He has joined the entire Ohio congressional delegation to introduce bipartisan legislation to allow the battlefield cross to be displayed at the graves of fallen soldiers and presented long-overdue military medals to Ohio veterans.
Sherrod and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) have honored the legacy of Ohio veterans by pushing to designate the Ohio Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus as the National Veterans Museum and Memorial.
The Columbus Dispatch wrote that Sherrod was “responsible for legislation requiring the Department of Defense to deliver the remains of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to airports convenient to their families, not just major hubs often hundreds of miles away.”
COMBATING THE OPIOID CRISIS
“Eleven Ohioans will die today of an opioid overdose, and Congress must be doing everything in our power to fight this epidemic on all fronts.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Working for a Comprehensive Response to the Opioid Crisis
Sherrod knows that there’s no one solution to the opioid addiction epidemic. That’s why he is proposing a comprehensive public health campaign to combat the crisis. Sherrod is calling on the federal government to launch a long-term campaign that includes widespread education and prevention efforts, expanding access to affordable addiction treatment, and recovery that includes better screening and protections against relapse.
Championing Efforts to Keep Opioids Out of Ohio
Sherrod and Senator Portman are united in working to prevent opioids from getting into Ohio. Together, they pushed Sherrod’s INTERDICT Act through Congress and signed into law by President Trump, giving law enforcement the tools to intercept opioids and synthetics before they enter our country. Sherrod and Portman are now working on new legislation, the POWER Act, to give local law enforcement officers access to the same fentanyl detection equipment to help them keep these drugs out of Ohio communities. Sherrod has fought to lower the amount of prescription drugs that manufacturers and distributors pump into our healthcare system, and to make their these processes more open and transparent. He has advocated for programs that let people safely dispose of expired or unused prescription drugs to ensure they don’t end up in the hands of someone who could misuse or abuse them.
Investing In and Expanding Treatment
Any long-term solution to ending the opioid crisis must include providing people suffering from addiction and mental health issues with the tools to get their lives back on track. Sherrod supported Governor Kasich’s decision to expand Medicaid, which funds treatment for more than 150,000 Ohioans, and worked with Portman on legislation to grant more Ohioans access to healthcare professionals and facilities. Sherrod knows that for infants and newborns affected by prenatal opioid addiction, treatment is especially critical, which is why he and Senator Portman have fought for measures to give affected newborns the best care available.
Bringing Vital Resources to Ohio Communities
Sherrod is working hard to make sure Ohio’s communities have the funding necessary to adequately address the opioid crisis. He supports a number of proposals, including the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act and the 21st Century Cures Act, that would give local communities the aid they need to effectively fight this epidemic. Sherrod was also a vocal opponent of the administration’s 2018 budget proposal, which called for slashing hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to programs Ohio counts on to combat opioid addiction. And when the White House dragged its feet in declaring the crisis a national emergency, Sherrod held the Administration accountable for their inaction — and applauded them when they finally heeded his call. Senator Brown Is Working To Engage Communities In Awareness And Prevention Sherrod believes that community engagement is crucial to this fight. By holding roundtable discussions with Ohio law enforcement, healthcare professionals, and those affected by the opioid crisis, Sherrod works with community leaders to help raise local awareness and understanding of the epidemic. He has also championed successful legislation that provides opioid prescribers with the training to identify warning signs before addiction occurs.
FIGHTING FOR AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL COMMUNITIES
“Our state’s farms are an important economic engine, and as we work together to move this economy forward, I will continue to fight for the needs of our farmers.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Advocating For Ohio Farmers
Sherrod understands the importance of Ohio’s farming communities—one in seven Ohio jobs depend on agriculture and more than half of Ohio’s land is used for farming. As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, he’s played a critical role in crafting comprehensive, bipartisan Farm Bills.
Sherrod travels across Ohio to hear directly from farmers and local stakeholders to effectively advocate for them in the Senate. He’s secured a number of legislative victories for Ohio farmers across multiple Farm Bills, including his approach to farm risk management, which Reuters called the “centerpiece” of the 2014 Farm Bill. Sherrod has held roundtables on rural development and farming across the state to ensure that Ohioans’ priorities are represented in the 2018 Farm Bill.
Sherrod has been recognized by a host of leading rural policy and agricultural groups, including the National Farmers Union, which has honored his tireless advocacy with the prestigious “Golden Triangle” award.
Spearheading Efforts For Ohio’s Rural Development
Sherrod fights to expand access to broadband for Ohio’s rural communities, securing more than $2.5 billion for underserved areas so they can compete and thrive in the 21st century.
Sherrod’s work has secured more than $150 million to advance critical rural development programs that support rural businesses, infrastructure projects, and communities in Ohio and across the country.
Protecting Healthcare For Rural Ohioans
Sherrod supports the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and has fought against repeal efforts that would hit rural communities hard. Ohioans living in rural communities have seen significantly expanded healthcare coverage under the ACA, and the already-shrinking pool of rural hospitals could suddenly become even smaller if repeal attempts succeed.
Sherrod continues to fight to give Ohio’s rural communities every possible tool and resource to fight the devastating opioid epidemic. He opposes the administration’s efforts to gut critical opioid and substance abuse programs, and has pressed the White House to give communities the necessary resources to combat this crisis. He led the passage of the bipartisan INTERDICT Act to help border agents intercept opioids as they enter the country and supports better education for doctors on addiction prevention and identification.
EXPANDING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE
“Instead of repealing the Affordable Care Act, we should be working to improve and expand it so that every Ohioan has access to quality, affordable healthcare.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Supporting and Defending Expansion of Healthcare Coverage
Millions of families across our state and country have benefited from the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Instead of repeating partisan talking points, Sherrod focuses on protecting those who have benefited from the ACA, including more than four million Ohioans who no longer have to worry about hitting lifetime coverage caps, more than three million Ohioans with private healthcare plans that now include access to preventive services, and nearly two million Ohioans with pre-existing conditions.
When Washington Republicans tried to gut the Medicaid expansion that allowed more than 700,000 Ohioans to access low-cost insurance coverage — including 150,000 who struggle with addiction — Sherrod stood with Republicans like Governor John Kasich to fight back. Sherrod has also teamed up with Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) to propose legislation to bring targeted healthcare tax credits to seniors and secure hard-earned coverage for retired miners who sacrificed their health and safety to support their families and power our nation.
Taking on Rising Prescription Drug Prices
Sherrod has always stood with consumers and patients in the fight for fair prescription drug prices. Whether it’s going after price-gouging drug companies or spearheading proposals that would allow Medicare to directly negotiate prescription drugs and increase competition in the pharmaceutical marketplace, Sherrod’s track record shows he’s not afraid to tangle with Big Pharma to make sure Ohioans can afford the prescription drugs they need.
Fighting for Ohio’s Children
Last year’s Republican-led attempt to allow the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to expire demonstrated how vital it is that Ohio’s children have an advocate like Sherrod in the U.S. Senate. In addition to his relentless fight for CHIP, Sherrod is a strong supporter of policies to fund training for pediatricians and pediatric specialists. He has worked across the aisle with Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) on proposals to create and fully fund a national pediatric research network, standardize care across state borders, and combat sudden childhood deaths.
Championing Affordable Healthcare for Seniors
Sherrod has worked throughout his career to protect and expand Medicare, beating back attacks on this essential program and advocating to lower the eligibility age to 55. He has championed proposals to allow Medicare to directly negotiate prices and increase competition through generic alternatives and to establish free preventive cancer and osteoporosis screenings under Medicare. Reaching across the aisle, Sherrod has worked with Senator Portman to introduce legislation to extend a critical healthcare tax deduction for seniors.
Combating Disease and Addiction
Ohio’s opioid epidemic is putting a huge strain on our families and communities. That’s why Sherrod has teamed up with Senator Portman on legislation to increase access to healthcare professionals and facilities, direct research treatment options, and prevent addiction before it begins. Sherrod is also a consistent advocate for increasing awareness and education to combat diseases from widespread ones like breast cancer to rarer diseases like Zika virus, Ebola, tuberculosis, and sickle cell anemia.
ENSURING QUALITY EDUCATION FOR OUR CHILDREN
“Every student deserves a community that supports their education. I’m troubled by the lack of oversight and transparency of many charter schools -- and will continue pushing for accountability. I will also keep up my efforts to bring critical resources to K-12 schools across Ohio, along with making higher education more accessible to every American.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Supporting Ohio Students
Sherrod’s record is proof of his commitment to Ohio students. He’s consistently voted to protect and expand Head Start and Early Head Start programs, spearheaded efforts for extra funding and staffing for Full-Service Community Schools, and defended federal funding for Ohio schools. He believes they should be pathways to opportunity for all students. He introduced legislation to address inequality in our public schools, and is a strong supporter of the My Brother’s Keeper program, a program launched by President Obama to mentor young African-American men.
Standing Shoulder To Shoulder With Ohio Educators
Ohio educators know that Sherrod has their backs. When Senate Bill 5 threatened to take away educators’ collective bargaining rights, Sherrod stood with teachers, firefighters, police officers, and organized labor to successfully overturn Ohio’s so-called “right-to-work” law. Sherrod has worked with teachers to make sure they’re paid the salaries and benefits they deserve. When teaching jobs were on the line, Sherrod rose to the challenge, fighting for funding to save and create jobs.
Holding Charter Schools Accountable
Oversight, transparency, and accountability are Sherrod’s focus for charter schools. When Sherrod called for additional oversight of Ohio’s charter schools, the Department of Education listened and announced it would only fund high-performing charter schools. Sherrod has also championed legislation to go after fraud and waste in charter schools by increasing community involvement and oversight.
Fighting For 21st-Century Schools
The discussion over infrastructure often ignores the declining state of our schools. Sherrod has introduced legislation that would repair, renovate, and build schools in Ohio and across the country, which would create almost two million jobs. He’s also proposed and helped pass a number of other proposals to bring much-needed aid to school facilities while creating good-paying jobs.
Working To End Bullying
No student should feel unsafe or unwelcome in their school. Sherrod is working to end bullying in the classroom and on the schoolyard. He has repeatedly co-sponsored the Safe Schools Improvement Act, which would require schools to adopt codes of conduct that prohibit bullying based on race, gender, ability, or nationality. Sherrod recognizes that some students are more vulnerable to bullying and discrimination than others. He has participated in the National Day of Silence and joined the “It Gets Better Project” to raise awareness of the bullying experienced by far too many LGBTQ students.
HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES SUCCEED
“Small businesses and manufacturers are the backbone of Ohio’s economy.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Fighting for Lower Taxes on Small Businesses
Sherrod knows that for small business owners, expanding and investing in employees is non-negotiable. He also knows that it can be difficult to cover costs while keeping pace with bigger competitors, which is why he has voted for over $1.3 billion in tax breaks for small businesses.
Sherrod has supported legislation that allows small businesses to stay competitive by writing off R&D costs and investments in business equipment and software. He was a vocal advocate for the Small Business Jobs Act, which the Akron Beacon Journal called “a most worthy response to the recovering yet still fragile economy.”
Sherrod recognizes that small businesses don’t have the time or resources to spend making sense of byzantine paperwork. He co-sponsored the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act of 2011, which would have cut red tape by updating tax reporting requirements for small businesses.
Leveling the Playing Field for Small Businesses
Since joining Congress, Sherrod has stood up for Ohio’s small businesses by opposing unfair trade deals that allow corporations to send jobs overseas, hollowing out communities and leaving small businesses struggling to compete.
Sherrod voted against NAFTA in 1993 and is playing an active role in the Trump administration’s renegotiation of the agreement to deliver a better deal for Ohio. He stood up to members of his own party in opposing Trade Promotion Authority and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and led Democrats away from trade deals that hurt workers and small businesses. He has also opposed trade agreements with Central America, Colombia, China, and South Korea.
Sherrod has helped Ohio businesses enter the global marketplace by leading the reauthorization and expansion of the Export-Import Bank, which benefited 226 small businesses in Ohio between 2007 and 2015. He has been a vocal opponent of currency manipulation by foreign countries, which undercuts international trade law and puts American businesses at a disadvantage. Sherrod and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) wrote a letter to the Department of Labor asking Secretary Wilbur Ross to investigate and crack down on countries caught engaging in unfair practices.
Helping Small Businesses Innovate
Sherrod has worked with members of both parties to expand financing opportunities for small and mid-sized manufacturers, and to reward small businesses that hire more employees and invest in job training and retraining. His bipartisan SECTORS Act worked to match employees skills to existing jobs by requiring that job training programs be designed with input from partnering companies.
Sherrod has worked to create business incubators and innovation hubs around the country to ensure that the America remains a leader in high-tech manufacturing. He worked with Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) to pass bipartisan legislation to create manufacturing innovation hubs across the country, the first of which was established in Ohio in 2015.
Since 2013, Sherrod has secured more than $17 million in federal grants and loans to support job creation and training in Ohio.
FIGHTING FOR SENIORS
“We have made promises to our seniors that we must honor – Medicare, Social Security, affordable prescription drugs. These men and women have worked their entire lives, taken care of their families, and they deserve a quality of life that reflects that.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Protecting Social Security
Time and time again, Social Security has been attacked by Republicans who have tried to raise the retirement age and privatize the program. These misguided efforts would enrich Wall Street by risking Americans’ savings in the stock market. Sherrod’s position on these attacks is simple: no way. He has consistently voted and spoken out against any attempt to undermine Social Security benefits and deny Americans their hard-earned benefits.
Championing Affordable Healthcare
Sherrod believes seniors should have access to quality, affordable healthcare. He has worked throughout his career to protect and expand Medicare, helping beat back multiple assaults on this essential program and advocating to lower the eligibility age to 55. With the cost of prescription drugs on the rise, Sherrod has championed proposals to allow Medicare to directly negotiate prices and increase competition through generic alternatives. He is also fighting to pass legislation that would establish free preventive cancer and osteoporosis screenings under Medicare.
Reaching across the aisle, Sherrod has worked with Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) to introduce legislation to extend a critical healthcare tax deduction for seniors.
Keeping Promises, Fighting For Retirement Security
During the tax debate, Sherrod promised “a hell of a fight” if Republicans moved forward with their plans to penalize workers with certain retirement savings accounts. Republicans relented, and Sherrod protected millions of Americans from new taxes on the money they put away for retirement.
Sherrod has also introduced a bold plan to stabilize pension funds, whose beneficiaries, through no fault of their own, often face a gap between what they were promised and what they actually receive in retirement. Sherrod will not allow mismanagement by corporate executives and Wall Street fund managers to upend workers’ retirement plans, and he’s committed to making sure promises made are kept. Sherrod was named the co-chair of a bipartisan committee in Congress tasked with developing bipartisan solutions to the pension crisis.
Supporting Strong Consumer Protections For Seniors
Sherrod knows scammers and criminals specifically target seniors. That’s why he strongly supported the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) fight against all shady and illegal financial practices. No one is more dedicated to protecting seniors from financial predators than Senator Sherrod Brown.
LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ALL OHIOANS
“It has been my honor to stand alongside you, fighting to make sure that every Ohioan is treated equally under the law and given the respect they deserve. I will never compromise on these principles and I will continue to work to drive your movement forward.”
-Senator Sherrod Brown
WHERE SHERROD STANDS:
Fought For Marriage Equality
Long before it was a politically popular position, Sherrod stood with LGBTQ families and couples to fight for full recognition under the law.
He opposed the Defense Of Marriage Act in the 1990s and has consistently fought against legislative efforts to deny LGBTQ Americans the right to marry whomever they love. When the day finally came in 2015, Sherrod rejoiced with millions of Americans as the Supreme Court recognized the rights of LGBTQ couples and families across the nation.
Standing With LGBTQ Servicemembers
Any American who honorably serves our country in uniform should be treated like a patriot. Since the beginning of his career, Sherrod opposed the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which he helped repeal in 2010. Sherrod has co-sponsored legislation to correct military records and reinstate benefits of servicemembers discharged on the basis on their sexual orientation.
When President Trump pushed to ban transgender individuals from the armed services, Sherrod responded forcefully, saying, “I have deep respect and gratitude for anyone who volunteers to serve in our military. We should not turn away anyone who is willing and able to serve this country and help keep America safe.”
Combating Anti-LGBTQ Discrimination
While we have made progress toward equality, it is legal in many states to discriminate against someone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Sherrod has led the charge to pass legislation that would expand federal civil rights protections and backed other bills to fight LGBTQ discrimination in housing, the workplace, and around the world.
Advocating For LGBTQ Youth
Sherrod has fought to protect LGBTQ youth because he knows they are especially vulnerable to harassment and discrimination. Not only has he called “conversion therapy” a “fr
