CINCINNATI, OHIO – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) joined local community leaders to discuss issues of concern to Cincinnati’s Jewish American community at the Mayerson Jewish Community Center today in Cincinnati.

“There is a long history of advocacy in Cincinnati’s Jewish community,” said Brown. “From domestic issues like health care, homelessness, education, poverty to international relations, the Jewish community has always been a strong force for social justice.”
      
Brown’s visit to Cincinnati is part of his “Made in Ohio Tour,” that kicked-off last week. With job creation as the top priority, Brown is fighting for a multi-pronged effort to promote economic development – from working to position Ohio as the Silicon Valley of Clean Energy Manufacturing, to establishing the state as a hub for high-growth industries. The key components of Senator Brown’s jobs strategy are:

  • Promoting the expansion of Ohio businesses by strengthening small business lending programs and aiding President Obama’s goal to significantly boost U.S. exports.
  • Transitioning away from our dependence on foreign oil to a clean energy future in which jobs are centered in the small businesses, manufacturing facilities, and universities of Ohio.
  • Developing Ohio’s workforce so that Ohioans are prepared to fill the jobs of the 21st century and revitalizing the state’s infrastructure to attract those global industries.
  • Making sure that Ohio industry isn’t undermined due to unfair trade by pursuing remedies to counteract China’s currency manipulation and subsidization of domestic industries.
