Sherrod Campbell Brown was born in Mansfield, Ohio, on November 9, 1952. He earned his bachelor's degree from Yale University and later went on to get his master's at Ohio State University. In 1974, Brown began his political career when he was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives, serving until 1982. He then served as Ohio’s Secretary of State from 1983 to 1991. Brown was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006, defeating two-term Republican Mike DeWine. Since then, he has maintained his seat, winning re-election in 2012 and 2018, including a victory over Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel. 

Throughout his time in the Senate, Brown has focused on major issues such as healthcare, LGBTQ+ rights, gun control, trade, and foreign policy. He has also served as the chair of the Senate Agriculture Subcommittee on Hunger, Nutrition, and Family Farms and the Banking Subcommittee on Economic Policy, working on policies to improve the lives of Ohio citizens and Americans nationwide.

Bernardo Moreno, better known as Bernie Moreno, has always been a hard worker and enjoyed helping others. Born in Bogota, he dreamed of becoming an American and worked his way towards citizenship at the age of 18. He would earn himself a Bachelor's Degree at the University of Michigan in 1989. In 2005, he established a Mercedes Benz dealership that would grow to be one of the biggest dealership groups in America. In the following years, he would sell his car dealerships, to co-find a company that worked towards revolutionizing the States to use paper titles, ChampTitles. After a few years, he sold his stake and forfeited his Board Chair position, to focus on a larger mission: protecting and properly representing the hard-working American people.

He wants to allow Ohioans to be fully represented, prevent China from hurting our democracy/country and put Americans first. He has decided to run because he is tired of soft politicians who don’t speak for the American people and are more than willing to fold if it means keeping everyone happy. He is personally endorsed by Donald Trump and would be honored to support the American people like he does his wife, Bridget, and his children.
