WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) issued the following statement upon Senate ratification of the New START Treaty:

 “Today, Democrats and Republicans joined together to put our nation’s security ahead of partisan politics,” Brown said. “The New START treaty makes us safer, reduces the number of nuclear weapons our grandchildren will have to pay for, and will maintain America’s strong military and global leadership in non-proliferation. Because of bipartisan involvement, we passed a stronger treaty that will allow for a 21st-century approach to missile defense and prevention of nuclear proliferation.”
