UAW Endorses Sherrod Brown for US Senate

The UAW has officially endorsed Sherrod Brown for US Senate, and is committed to sending a working class fighter back to DC to represent the nearly 100,000 active and retired UAW members who live and vote in Ohio. Sherrod Brown has a proven track record battling corporate interests and taking on the broken status quo in Washington.

The UAW Ohio CAP (Community Action Program) Council formally voted to endorse Brown, and will mobilize hundreds of thousands of working-class Ohioans to elect Brown to the US Senate.

“Sherrod is more than an ally of the UAW; he is an honorary union brother,” said UAW Region 2B Director Dave Green. “Ohioans don’t need another representative who leaves us wondering whose side they’ll be on when it matters. We know exactly where Sherrod Brown stands, because he has been in the fight with the UAW and the working-class time and time again. I am proud of our members for committing to elect working-class fighters like Sherrod.”

“Today, the top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% of humanity combined – that is a crisis. Sherrod Brown is one of the only politicians who understands this crisis and won’t cower to billionaires when faced with a tough fight,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “The UAW is proud to endorse candidates like Sherrod who will stand with the working class against our common enemy: corporate greed.”

“Throughout my career, I’m proud to have stood with UAW members fighting for the dignity of work and ensuring that workers always have a seat at the table,” said Sherrod Brown. “Connie and I drive Jeeps assembled in Toledo by UAW workers, and earlier this year, I was proud to stand in solidarity with UAW members in Evendale as they fought for a fair contract. I’m honored to once again have the UAW’s support as we continue the fight for Ohio workers and push back against corporate greed and special interests.”
