Sen. Sherrod Brown is locked in a tie with Republican Bernie Moreno in the Ohio Senate race.

Moreno is running to replace Brown , who has been in Congress since 2007 .

The Republican says Brown has a “fake persona” and never held a job.

The Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss-up,” with FiveThirtyEight polling showing a +2 advantage.

Brown 's campaign has hit Moreno with several attack ads and campaign releases over reproductive rights.

Moreno drew ire for a comment he made criticizing women whose votes were driven by government involvement in abortion during a town hall in September .

Brown and his Democratic allies swiftly criticized the comment, while Moreno ’s campaign has stressed that the economy and immigration are bigger priorities.

Republican community members in Delaware County praised Moreno for his business experience, with some arguing it gives him an edge over Brown with working class voters.

Not all GOP voters are completely sold on Moreno , despite casting a ballot for him.

Moreno has been accused of wage theft and workplace discrimination by former employees.
