Labor Perspective From Former U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown: Democrats ‘Must Become The’ Workers’ Party Again

Sherrod Brown, who served as a United States Senator from the State of Ohio from 2007 to 2025, has penned a Labor Perspective that recently appeared in The New Republic.  It read, in part: There are two questions people have asked me since November: What are you going to do next? And, where do we go from here, as a party? The answers to both are the same. Democrats must become the Workers’ Party again. It is an electoral and a moral imperative and it will be my mission for the rest of my life. To win the White House and governing majorities again, Democrats must reckon with how far our party has strayed from our New Deal roots, in terms of both our philosophy toward the economy and the makeup of our coalition. We cannot solve this problem without an honest assessment of who we are. How we see ourselves as the Democratic Party - the party of the people, the party of the Working Class and the Middle Class - no longer matches up with what most voters think.
