Why Am I So Proud To Work For Sherrod Brown Again?

The above photo was taken days before his reelection in 2012. Last night was a perfect example of why history needs to repeat itself.

Why am I so proud to work for Sherrod Brown again? Because at 11PM last night I watched him doing his job on the Senate floor, fighting to stop a bunch of folks in Washington who enjoy government health care from taking health care away from millions across the country.

Because at 2:45 AM last night he emailed to talk about what’s next.

Sherrod will tell you that last night’s victory belongs to everyone who called and wrote their members of congress. To everyone who protested, resisted, and spoke out in any way they were able. And he’s right. Thank you for everything you did.

But this also wouldn’t have happened without the fight, determination, and hard work that I see from him every day.

Sherrod will be the first to tell you there’s so much more to do to lower the cost of healthcare, fix ACA in a bipartisan way, and move Ohio and the country forward, but last night was an important step.

On to the next one.
