U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat and seasoned member of Congress, (D-OH) led the introduction to his Fentanyl Eradication and Narcotics Deterrence (FEND) Off Fentanyl Act , a sanctions and anti-money laundering bill designed to help combat the country’s fentanyl crisis by targeting opioid traffickers devastating Ohio and other communities.
