| Description | -- Sherrod Brown, the Democratic congressman from Lorain, has decided to stay in the U.S. House rather than run for Ohio governor.
"It's so apparent to anybody that knows me that I love what I'm doing," Brown, 52, said Monday, ending months of speculation as to whether he would run. "I look at the major issues I work on -- Medicare, Medicaid, international health issues, trade issues -- and I've been lucky enough to get to lead the charge on the Democratic side for a lot of this."
Brown's decision frees Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman, the only Democrat who has announced his candidacy, of a potentially daunting challenge in a 2006 gubernatorial primary. Brown, a former Ohio secretary of state, is known as an effective strategist and could have mounted a savvy campaign.
