Democrat Sherrod Brown says US Senate departure won’t be the last Ohioans hear from him

Associated Press  

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown made clear during a farewell speech Tuesday that he does not plan to abandon his career-long fight for American workers despite suffering a bitter defeat last month in Ohio, where it’s become nearly impossible for his party to win statewide elections. Brown said only that he would return to Ohio in January as “a private citizen” and that people who love the country “fight for the people who make it work every day.” The Democrat blasted the Washington establishment for bowing to Wall Street’s interest over workers, with painful results for places like his hometown of Mansfield, Ohio. Without naming Trump, Brown — a pro-union senator consistently ranked among the chamber’s most liberal members — took a swipe at the notion that the president-elect’s movement can be called “populist.” “True populism lifts all people. “True populism is essentially about the dignity of work, putting workers at the center of all we should be doing.” Brown touted key accomplishments of his 18-year Senate career that he said will have lasting impacts for working families.
