Background

Biography

Bernie Moreno was born in Bogota, Colombia, on February 14, 1967. He earned a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Michigan in 1989.

His Senate biography says he began his career at General Motors and at 26 became a general manager at an automotive dealership group. In 2005 he bought a car dealership near Cleveland, which he built into the Collection Auto Group. He later co-founded CHAMP Titles, a vehicle title technology company, and launched a company called Ownum. The biography says he established the Sales Center for Excellence at Cleveland State University and served on the board of trustees of the MetroHealth System.

Moreno was elected to the Senate on November 5, 2024, and the Senate lists his service as beginning January 3, 2025. He serves on the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and Budget committees, and on the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control.
