.@SenSherrodBrown has served the people of Ohio and our country with honor. I’ll never forget that canary-in-a-coal mine lapel pin he wears and his call to respect the dignity of work. He is leaving an incredible legacy of action and I am grateful to call him a friend.
Congress approves @SenSherrodBrown bill to eliminate public worker Social Security penalties. @SherrodBrown continues his fight for the dignity of work until the very end! https://t.co/nkCWtQk87E
For decades I have fought to ensure that public servants get the full Social Security they have earned.
Tonight, we passed the Social Security Fairness Act and finally got it done.
This is what it means to fight for the Dignity of Work.
.@SenSherrodBrown, it’s been an honor serving on the @SenateBanking Committee with you and under your leadership. I’m proud of all we accomplished together, and I’m going to carry on the fight for working people.
I’ll miss serving with you, my friend.
BIG moment for the Social Security Fairness Act: Senate cloture vote succeeds 73-27
It’s a huge win for advocates like teachers, cops, public workers who’ve pushed this for many years. Discharge petition in the House broke loose momentum & now bill is set up to clear the Senate
Thank you @SenSherrodBrown for your incredible service to the people of Ohio, your tireless dedication to our communities, and for always being a voice for workers.
.@SenSherrodBrown has championed working families, defended every Ohioan's dignity, and created opportunities for a more prosperous state. Thank you for your friendship, vision, and service. Your voice will be missed, but your impact will echo in our communities for years to come.
Time and again,@SenSherrodBrown told stories that inspired all of us. From the child tax credit to giving retirees a wage to sustain their families, Sen. Brown fought to make a difference.
Sherrod, I hope you continue to share your stories. Thank you for your service.
There isn't a better advocate for workers and the dignity of work than @SenSherrodBrown. His legacy in the Senate will be the battles he fought and won to make lives better for working people in Ohio and across the country.
Hope is an act of will, not an article of faith.
@SenSherrodBrown inspired me and other Senators to have hope and to fight for working people like the woman I met in Duluth all those years ago.
Thank you, my friend with the gravelly voice. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
TODAY AT 4:15 — I’ll be heading to the Senate floor to talk about my time in the Senate and the future of the fight for the Dignity of Work.
Tune in for my final speech of this term.

Even the rain can’t stop these retired police officers, firefighters, and public servants from showing up to the Capitol and demanding the Social Security they’ve earned.
The Senate must vote on my bipartisan bill to #RestoreSocialSecurity now. We won't give up on this.
Right now, police officers, firefighters, teachers and other public servants don’t get the Social Security they have earned.
My bipartisan bill will finally fix that.
It’s time to bring it to the Senate floor.
There is no place for this vile hate and intimidation in Ohio.
We must stand together as Ohioans and Americans against racism and antisemitism in Columbus and every community.
Columbus police are responding as social media videos show about a dozen people dressed as Nazis marching through the Short North and Victorian Village. https://t.co/DXzFbtQw7J
A single judge in Texas just blocked four million American workers from getting the overtime pay they earn.
This is exactly why our fight for workers isn’t over.
NEW: A Texas federal judge has struck down a DOL rule that would have expanded overtime eligibility to four million new workers, kneecapping one of the Biden administration’s most substantial labor policies. https://t.co/l8doOj4nG8
Bill Burges was the oracle of Cleveland — few understood Northeast Ohio and the issues that affect people’s lives better. We worked with him on campaign after campaign; his wit, good judgment, and wisdom always carried the day.
Connie and I are sad that Bill is gone. We will miss him, and we hold his family in our prayers.
