Sherrod Brown on 2020: ‘Connie and I Are Seriously Thinking About It’

EXCERPT:

BROWN: "It’s not without some anxiety to think about any of this. And I — you know, Connie and I are seriously thinking about it. You know, I think whoever the Democratic nominee is, if I run and I’m it or any number of well-qualified people that have announced or who will announce, the dignity of work really needs to be a central theme — in their campaigns. I think that too many people look at the Democratic electorate and say you either talk to the Progressive base or you talk to working class voters. And you've got to do both, not just to win Ohio or win the heartland or the Electoral College, you’ve got to do both as a longtime Progressive and as an advocate for workers. It's’s the way not just to win elections, it’s the way to govern. It really is at the core of who I am and who I think a whole lot of the American public and a strong majority of the Democratic Party is. Do both. Talk in terms of Progressive issues and talk about what we need to do for workers on trade policy and tax policy and overtime rule and all of that."
