Who is the best choice to take on Sherrod Brown in ‘24?

[Suburbia]

Balderson or Husted, but they lose to Brown.

Sherrod Brown could run for OH GOV in 2022 if he wants, and win.

Brown has the seat how long he wants, I feel.

I think he retires in 2030.

Not sure about all the love for balderson here. I've interacted with him on a number of occasions and, while not stupid, he's kind of overrated.

If I were the GOP, I would run Troy Balderson. Ohio as a whole is trending R, but assuming Balderson hasn't lost re-election in 2020 or 2022, he'd show that he can appeal to D-trending suburbs. Brown's probably going to lose in 2024 anyway.

I'm not sure Balderson has any marked appeal in D-trending suburbs; he won because the district is mostly not D-trending suburbs. In Delaware County, the most suburban county in the district where there's comparable data (Franklin County would be better but I can't find anything that breaks the other results into congressional districts), Balderson got fewer votes than all but one of the statewide Republican candidates and the state senate candidate.

Casey, Brown, Kaine, Stabenow and Baldwin will all be reelected in a Biden reelection in 2024
