Where they stand
Public safety
Our law enforcement, Ohio State Troopers, and public safety officers in our community and Ohio are our first line of defense in our communities. These men and women work hard and often face dangerous work day and night, weekends, and holidays to ensure we are safe. When duty calls, they answer without hesitation. Therefore, as "Your" State Representative, I am responsible for addressing the increased rates of mental health and staffing shortages and even holding accountable bad actors.
Why they are running
As "Your" State representative, I listen and speak for your concerns. I often work bipartisan to develop solutions to the needs of our districts through legislative action. As "Your" state representatives, I work together to balance the best interests of our district.
Workers and wages
I am honored to use my voice to fight for all Ohioans by advocating for access to basic needs like livable wage, workforces that look like the communities we live in, education equality and access to quality healthcare.

Recorded votes
Darnell T. Brewer cast 541 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 2 terms from 2023 to 2026, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Darnell T. Brewer voted and how the majority of their party voted.
| Term | Chamber | Yea | Nay | Did not vote | With party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 136th General Assembly, 2025–2026 | Ohio House, district 22 | 225 | 57 | not recorded | 98% of 46 |
| 135th General Assembly, 2023–2024 | Ohio House, district 18 | 216 | 43 | not recorded | 100% of 35 |
"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed.
