Ohio Sen. Brown Took $350 From Dead Woman for Campaign

The Federal Election Commission is investigating after Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, accepted more than $300 in campaign contributions from a woman who had been dead for five months.

Records obtained by the New York Post show that Carol Ann Baker of Toledo, Ohio, died in December 2023. But in May, the Friends of Sherrod Brown campaign committee received at least two donations from the late Ohio resident totaling $350.

Locked in a tight reelection battle this cycle, Brown is fighting to withstand a challenge from Republican Bernie Moreno and hang onto his seat.
