Bernardo Moreno (born February 14, 1967) is an American politician and businessman who has served as the senior United States Senator from Ohio since 2025. A member of the Republican Party, he is one of the first two Colombian American U.S. senators, along with Ruben Gallego of Arizona, who took office the same day.
Moreno was born in Colombia to a family that soon immigrated to the United States, where he grew up in Florida. After attending the University of Michigan, he began a career in business. In 2005 he moved to Ohio, where he ran several car dealerships, mostly in Greater Cleveland, before becoming involved in blockchain companies in the late 2010s. He first sought office in 2022, when he ran for the U.S. Senate, but withdrew before the Republican primary. In the 2024 election, he won the Republican nomination and defeated Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown.
