Sherrod Brown (D) · U.S. Senate nominee (OH; on Nov. 3, 2026 ballot); former U.S. Senator
Topic: Senate filibuster
THEN · 2017-04-07
“we are united in our determination to preserve the ability of Members to engage in extended debate when bills are on the Senate floor.”
NOW · 2021-03-10
“We won't allow Senate Republicans to block every meaningful bill to improve people's lives. If they stand in the way of the progress Americans voted for, that means ending the filibuster.”
Context: The 2017 statement is a joint letter signed by 61 senators, including then-Sen. Brown. The 2021 post is conditional: he said ending the filibuster would follow if Republicans blocked the agenda. He is now the Democratic Senate nominee in Ohio.
