COLUMBUS, OHIO – In response to the third and final U.S. Senate debate between Sen. Sherrod Brown and Josh Mandel, Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern released the following statement:
“Through three debates, Josh Mandel has tried desperately to shed his reputation as a politician who can’t be trusted, and each time he has failed to distract Ohioans from his opposition to the auto rescue, opposition to Sherrod’s bipartisan bill to punish China when it cheats trade laws, decision to hire unqualified political cronies and friends in the Treasurer’s office and refusal to show up for work. It’s now clearer than it’s ever been before that only one candidate in this race can be trusted to fight for auto jobs, manufacturing jobs, Social Security and Medicare, and that candidate is Sen. Sherrod Brown.”
