Our check against the record

The record does not settle it

Checked against No record can settle this sentence: border policy is set by law and the executive, and "opened our borders" characterizes an outcome no single senator's record produces.

The record: Nationwide encounters

Context

The advertisement tied Brown's votes on immigration to a fatal crash on an Ohio interstate highway on April 11, 2026. Brown served in the U.S. Senate from 2007 to 2025 and is the Democratic nominee in the 2026 special election.

Topics: Immigration, Public safety.
