Sherrod Brown

Trump carried my state by eight points twice. We can win here, and I think our chances in 2022 are pretty good with the governor`s race and the Senate race.

I mean, that`s really what this race has become. It`s just -- it`s just (INAUDIBLE) but it`s just something to watch in Ohio. The standards are already going far right. And the extremism and just getting in line for trump in ways that…

Well, you say, maybe employers ought to increase wages.

I think that is -- that is fascinating now. And it`s what -- some of us have wanted Democratic presidents to do for a long time is stand up and talk about taxing the rich, point out those 55 or 60 companies in Fortune 500 that have paid…

But it also means its real opportunity for us to win.

Well, it`s a race we could win. And we ran with a sharp dignity of work message. You never compromise of marriage equality or choice or opposition to the NRA. You talk about minimal wage and dignity of work and the overtime rule and…

But it`s what we`re doing internationally going back to the Paris Climate Accords, rejoined the World Health Organization, engaging in international public health, and listening to the WHO and listening to the CDC.

These candidates that are already pretty far right -- the extremism and just getting in line for Trump in ways that -- still is astounding in this country, and I watch it up close, and it breaks my heart.

We ran with a sharp dignity and work message. You never compromise on marriage equality or choice or opposition to the NRA. You talk about minimum wage and dignity of work and the overtime rule and cutting child poverty.

I want to make sure that whoever receives benefits from us is entitled to them.

We need leadership that believes in the promise of Social Security, not leadership that has actively worked to dismantle it.

Instead of finding ways to deny disability benefits, I want to see you helping people successfully get the benefits they are eligible for.

I expect you to double down on efforts to improve relationships with your employee unions.

I have committed, as you and I have talked about many times, to working together to protect and expand Social Security.

The term 'dignity of work' first came to me... All work has dignity, whether done by a street sweeper or Michelangelo or Beethoven.

We've created an economy that runs by Wall Street's rules.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

Far too many of those workers died because they didn't have basic protections--they didn't have a Government that was on their side.

When companies lay off workers or cut their pay, their stock prices go up.

Yet when the financial industry cost millions of Americans their homes and their jobs, gutted communities of color, and preyed on towns and neighborhoods around the country--they got a bailout.

It is time that we start delivering benefits for veterans.

The conservators--the corporations, the special interests, the elite who've amassed wealth and power at the expense of workers and their families--the conservators never give up.

That the OCC would open up our communities to more exploitation when we are suffering already so severely from COVID-19 is immoral; it is disgraceful that the OCC would give predatory lenders a way to charge 200 to 400 percent interest and…

Under President Bush, the OCC described these rent-a-bank schemes as 'abusive.'

If you believe in the dignity of work, you work hard, you ought to be able to get ahead.
