Potential 2016 Democratic Presidential Candidate
U.S. Senator from Ohio
Sherrod Brown
Sherrod Campbell Brown
Born: September 9th, 1952 (age 62)
The two-term Senator and former seven-term House member from Ohio is possibly the closest true liberal in Congress today. While it is easy to simply pigeon-holed him as an anti-Bush, anti-war and anti-business activist, it would disregard his starring role in the liberal movement over the last two decades.
The sneakers-wearing one-time college professor’s advocacy of stem-cell research and minimum wage increase, along with his votes against raising the retirement age and free trade agreements, and his critique of big businesses influence on politics, are just some of the stances that has turn him into one of the most prominent flag bearers of the liberal cause.
His commitment to the unions and aggressive trade protectionism is perfectly illustrated by a signboard hung outside the Ohio Democratic Party headquarters, which reads: “Only vehicles assembled by union workers in North America are welcome in this parking lot.”
