COLUMBUS, OHIO – After declaring victory tonight, Senator Brown lost his voice, and his wife, Connie Schultz, delivered most of this speech. The remarks as prepared are below:
Today in Ohio, in the middle of America, the middle class won.
Again.
Only a year ago we gathered to celebrate the defeat of Issue 2, an undisguised assault on the middle class.
Just like this fall, we fought back against secretive out-of-state forces that wanted to impose THEIR will upon OUR great state.
