COLUMBUS, OH — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) released the following statement today following the arrest of a man suspected of mailing bombs to high profile figures throughout the U.S.

“First, Connie and I are grateful to law enforcement for everything they do to keep our country safe. Their investigation is ongoing and we need to let them do their jobs. We are glad no one has been hurt, including our postal workers and the news media, who play such a critical role in our democracy.

“We must use this as an opportunity to bring our country together, and I call on President Trump to set the tone.”
