Before @JoeBiden and President Trump take the debate stage tonight in Cleveland, we’re counting down Trump’s worst betrayals of Ohio workers. #Debates2020
In 2016, Trump promised to fight for Ohio workers, but failed to lift a finger when GM abandoned Lordstown, taking 4,500 jobs with it.
Trump wasted trillions of workers’ tax dollars on a massive handout to Wall Street and his wealthy friends.
Trump stacked the courts and the Department of Labor with corporate lawyers who would side with his anti-worker agenda.
Trump made it easier for employers to reduce and take away overtime pay from hundreds of thousands of Ohio workers.
Almost 1 MILLION Ohio workers lost their jobs because of Trump’s failure to respond to the pandemic.
Trump took away the $600 per week in unemployment insurance for 680,000 Ohioans in the middle of an economic crisis.
Trump failed to protect essential frontline workers while they put their lives at risk to keep our country going during the pandemic.
Trump is trying to use the Supreme Court to eliminate the ACA, taking health coverage away from more than 740,000 Ohioans and putting more than 5 MILLION Ohioans at risk of losing protections for pre-existing conditions.
Trump promised to protect #SocialSecurity and #Medicare but he told his rich friends in Davos he would pay for his corporate tax cuts by cutting Social Security and Medicare, and is gutting them through his latest tax scam, the payroll tax freeze.
Trump and his administration have made it even easier for corporations to bust unions.
Trump refuses to raise the minimum wage for workers.
Trump attacked Goodyear -- an iconic Akron-based company that employs 64,000 workers -- to fuel his petty political grievances.
When Smithfield, a multibillion-dollar corporation owned by the Chinese communist government, failed to protect its workers, Trump handed out a paltry fine of just $10 per worker.
Americans are tired of Trump's phony populism and broken promises. Together we can elect a president who will finally be on workers' side.

One year ago this week, I joined @nanwhaley after the shooting in #Dayton, Ohio. I looked the President in the eye and urged him to do the right thing.
I asked the President to call Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, tell McConnell to bring the Senate back to Washington, hold a vote on commonsense gun safety legislation, and to promise the American people he will sign that legislation into law.
One year later and they haven't done anything. People do not have to keep dying and we have the power to do something about it. But that can’t happen until politicians stop working for the NRA and start doing the right thing for the people they serve.

#ICYMI in @RollingStone, "Senator Sherrod Brown Knows How to Save the Soul of the Democratic Party" sherrodbrown.com/frontpage/2020…
Q: What is your theory for how this president won in 2016? And how does that inform the Democratic Party nominee defeating the president in 2020?
First of all, he lied to people about protecting #SocialSecurity & #Medicare. He sold people a phony populism to make them feel like he was on their side, & then he betrayed them. - SB

We need to build a progressive bench in Ohio -- that's why this fall Sherrod started the Canary Candidates Program, to elect grassroots Ohioans who champion progressive values and who will fight for the #DignityofWork.
"In some of the recent local elections, it paid to be connected to Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown."
"After years of getting walloped in local races, Democrats made some significant gains in last week’s election. Some of those victors have Brown, easily the state’s most visible Democrat, to thank for an assist through his 'Canary Candidates' program."

Sherrod spoke at @dailykos & @Netroots_Nation’s Presidential Candidate forum to debunk the electability myth. The crowd was fired up! sherrodbrown.com/frontpage/2019…
Pundits too often argue that you have to compromise progressive values in order to win elections.

Sherrod knows better: He has served the great swing state of Ohio for decades and won his last election by seven points in a state President Trump won by nearly 10 points in 2016.
Sherrod has never compromised on his progressive values. He has built his campaigns and career around the Dignity of Work, which means you fight for a progressive economic agenda that respects all workers -- no matter who they are or what kind of work they do.

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your support as I ran for re-election in Ohio, and thank you for your support as we traveled the country on the Dignity of Work tour.
.@ConnieSchultz and I have spent the last few months traveling around the country to make dignity of work a centerpiece of Democrats’ 2020 campaign, and we are so grateful to everyone who has welcomed us into their communities and into their lives.
We’ve seen candidates begin taking up the dignity of work fight, and we have seen voters across the country demanding it—because dignity of work is a value that unites all of us. It is how we beat Trump, and it is how we should govern.

In just the last year 1,200 kids have been shot—too often in communities of color that get ignored.

Gun violence is a real national emergency.
Trump’s own tax law encourages companies like GM to close factories, eliminate jobs, and ship work overseas—leaving thousands of Americans without jobs.

That's a real national emergency.
The opioid epidemic has claimed thousands of lives, in Ohio, killing 11 people every single day.

Trump called that a national emergency—but he's done very little about it.
