Sherrod Brown was born in Mansfield, Ohio. He attended Yale Law School and earned a master of arts degree in education and public administration from Ohio State University in 1981.
Rep. Brown served as an Ohio state representative from 1975 to 1982. In 1982, he won a four-way Democratic primary and was elected Secretary of State.
Brown was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992 and has served the 13th District for 13 years. He is running against Senator Mike DeWine (R-OH) in 2006 and all public polls indicate that the race is virtually tied.

Kyle McDermott and Ben Waxman work for the Ohio AFL-CIO. Kyle serves as the State Political Coordinator and Ben Waxman works as the State Field Director for the AFL-CIO’s Take Back Ohio voter mobilization program.
“The Ohio AFL-CIO was formed in 1958 to battle a right-to-work campaign backed by Ohio Republicans and big businesses. Since that merger of the state’s craft and industrial unions, the Ohio AFL-CIO has been at the forefront of struggles for political power and economic and social justice for working families. Our strength derives from 650,000 union men and women who are affiliated with the Ohio AFL-CIO through 48 international unions and 1,600 local unions. Along with 300,000 union retirees, they are the individuals who provide the collective power of the Ohio AFL-CIO.”

Having just heard DoubleSpeak, I’ve got to admit it’s the best progressive/acitivist blog/podcast by two members of the same multiple birth that I have ever heard. You guys are very entertaining.
