Sherrod Brown

ON THE ISSUES

• Voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, the most significant action Congress has ever taken to address climate change
• Helped Secure $30 million for environmental restoration projects around the Great Lakes
• Fighting to keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes to preserving streams, forests, and wildlife
• Earned a 94% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard

WHY THIS RACE MATTERS

• While Brown won this seat by a 6.8% margin in 2018, Trump carried the state by 8.1% in the 2020 presidential election. Ensuring that this will be one of the most competitive races in the country
• Protecting this vulnerable Senate seat in Ohio will help retain the narrow pro-environment Senate majority, paving the way for climate action
