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.
HOPE. Moments before it was announced election night that President Obama won a second term, a supporter at the Hamilton County Ohio Democratic Party celebration at Cincy's in Cincinnati, OH, anticipates a victory.
