I know. Ryan (his opponent) ran a less than stellar campaign, and Peter Thiel bought himself a senator. I can’t stand Vance, and I’m concerned about losing Sherrod Brown, because he really is a good and effective senator. I don’t care for car dealer Bernie Moreno.

What did make me laugh is that our Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, is trying to find a new job as he’s term limited out of office this year. He tried running for senator in Ohio’s Federal primary race and came in third. Trump endorsed the primary winner Bernie Moreno. LaRose is busily writing a dishonest ballot summary for our initiative to take redistricting away from the Republicans in the General Assembly. LaRose tried and failed to wreck our ability to pass initiatives as we always had, and was soundly defeated in Issue 1 in 2022. He wrote a dishonest ballot summary for that also and people saw through it.

Hoping, like you, Sherrod Brown can win. (He might carry Springfield??)

Springfield is pretty red.

Ryan didn't win in '22 because the Democratic Party didn't spend a dime to support his race. They wrote off Ohio completely. And now we have Vance (ugh).

According to 538 Sherrod Brown is consistently ahead of Moreno, albeit often within the margin of error.

I worry about Sherrod, too, Kathy. He's a really good guy, which usually shines through all the opposition's bs. He's got name recognition and his storied man of the people/ on the side of workers rep. I hope that's enough to keep him in the senate. He's only 2 points up over Bernie, but maybe (hopefully) Chump's atrocious performance Tues. will deflate the value of his support for Moreno.
