Statement summary
In an emailed statement reported March 5, 2026, Sherrod Brown said Washington was determined to bring the country into another conflict that puts the nation's safety and security at risk, arguing the focus should be on lowering costs for Ohioans, "not waging another war in the Middle East."
“Ohioans are struggling with the rising costs of their groceries, health care, and electric bills. Meanwhile, Washington is determined to bring us into another conflict that puts our country's safety and security at risk. We should be focused on bringing down prices and putting money back into the pockets of Ohioans — not waging another war in the Middle East.”
Brown framed the war as a conflict that endangers the country and a distraction from affordability, a statement of opposition to the war itself.
