Sherrod has led efforts to keep firefighters safe on the job and is leading the fight to pass the Social Security Fairness Act to ensure firefighters and first responders receive their full Social Security benefits. Sherrod also worked with law enforcement officers to pass the bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act to protect Ohio families from dangerous fentanyl by cracking down on the chemical suppliers in China and drug cartels in Mexico.
While Sherrod fights for Ohioans and the Dignity of Work, Bernie Moreno has made it clear he only looks out for himself – from “stiffing” his workers out of the overtime they earned and deliberately shredding documents a judge ordered him to keep to get away with it, to selling the Chinese-made Buick Envision which “shipped [Ohio jobs] overseas,” to mocking Ohio women for wanting to make their own health care decisions.
“Ohioans rely on our firefighters to protect them every day and Ohio firefighters can rely on me to always stand up for them,” said Senator Sherrod Brown. “I will always fight to make sure Ohio firefighters are safe on the job and that they receive the benefits they’ve earned, because when you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work.”
“Sherrod doesn’t just listen, he takes action. That’s why I’m proud to announce that the Ohio Association of Professional Fire Fighters is endorsing Senator Sherrod Brown for reelection,” said Elyria Assistant Fire Chief and OAPFF Second District Vice President Dean Marks. “Sherrod has always fought to make sure we have the tools we need to do our jobs effectively, whether it’s stopping the flow of fentanyl at its source, securing crucial investments for fire departments across the state, or making sure Ohio firefighters are taken care of after their service.”

WJW: Ohio Firefighters Endorse Sherrod Brown’s Reelection
WJW: “Over the weekend, [Sherrod] picked up a key endorsement from the Ohio Association of Professional Firefighters. The Democrat has a history of supporting labor unions and Senator Brown says he has a record of supporting firefighters, as well.”
Sherrod: “We work with firefighters on everything from helping to make sure their pensions are strong, making sure if they pay into Social Security they get the benefits, making sure their jobs are safer because firefighting is a dangerous occupation.”
WJW: “Senator Sherrod Brown has also picked up endorsements from other labor groups including the UAW, United Steelworkers, and the Ohio Education Association.”
