The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) laid out how long Brown has been harming Ohio voters, and it goes back to 1974. In those 52 years, Brown hasn't delivered for Ohioans, and we have no reason to believe he will this time around.

Today is Election Day in Ohio.

Voting is a right that generations of Americans have fought for and defended.

I encourage every Ohioan to take part and exercise their right today.
