Description: Photograph showing Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown during his 1982 campaign for Ohio Secretary of State. He would go on to defeat Republican Virgil Brown in the general election later that year. Born in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1952, Brown later settled in Lorain. He began his political career by winning election as a state representative in the Ohio House in 1974. At the time, he was the youngest person elected to that body. Following his tenure as a state representative (1974-1982), he went on to serve as Ohio Secretary of State (1982-1990), in the U.S. House of Representatives (1992-2006), and as a U.S. Senator (2006-current). In his long political career, he has only lost one race, for re-election as Secretary of State in 1990. View on Ohio Memory.
