Bernie Moreno is Ohio's senior senator, elected in 2024 after defeating incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown in one of the most expensive Senate races of the cycle. He was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and immigrated to the United States as a child, eventually building a successful automotive dealership business with locations across Ohio, Florida, and Colorado. Moreno had no prior political experience before running for Senate, having entered the race with strong backing from former President Trump.
Moreno serves on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, and has aligned closely with President Trump's policy agenda on trade, immigration, and deregulation. His business background informs his focus on economic growth, entrepreneurship, and reducing regulatory burdens on businesses. His election ended Sherrod Brown's 18-year Senate tenure and was seen as a significant shift in Ohio's political identity from a swing state toward a reliably Republican one.
