Brown has defeated well-known Republicans in the past. In 2006, he rose to the Senate by prevailing over moderate Republican incumbent Mike DeWine, another familiar name in state politics.and endorsed a Moreno opponent, state Sen. Matt Dolan — though he got behind Moreno when he won. In October, former Gov. Bob Taft, the Republican scion of one of Ohio’s most famous political families, said he was backing Brown.
As Moreno and his Republican allies consistently outspent Democrats during the race, they aimed to chip away at Brown’s favorability ratings among Ohio voters. He remains the only Democrat to hold a nonjudicial statewide office in Ohio, where the GOP controls all three branches of government.
