Sherrod Brown

Senator Sherrod Brown has spent his life fighting for the Dignity of Work – the belief that hard work should pay off for everyone, no matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of work you do. In March 2025 he launched the Dignity of Work Institute, dedicated to the people who make this country work and to creating an economy where Americans’ work is valued.

Over a lifetime of public service, including more than three decades serving Ohioans in Congress, Sherrod has been one of the country’s most consistent champions for American workers. He has been a leading advocate for the labor movement, and led efforts to fix our broken trade policies that enrich multinational corporations at the expense of workers, helping transform the national consensus on trade.

A lifelong Ohioan, Sherrod grew up in Mansfield, Ohio. He is the author of three books, and lives in Cleveland, Ohio with his wife Connie Schultz, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and author. They are blessed with three daughters, a son, eight grandchildren, and their beloved rescue dogs, Franklin and Walter.
