The Senate-passed funding measure increases funding for #GLRI by $9M bringing the total to $310M. GLRI is a successful public-private partnership that works to protect the water quality and ecosystem of our Great Lakes — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Senate passed the FY 2020 CJS, Ag, Interior, THUD funding bill which includes several of my key priorities that will work to protect our #GreatLakes, national parks, & #Ohio’s foster youth. https://t.co/z4eF7LZ2id — PolitiTweet.org

We also can’t ignore other deadly drugs like meth & cocaine. My Combating Meth & Cocaine Act gives state & local governments greater flexibility with federal grant money to address the resurgence of these drugs affecting our communities. https://t.co/B2P3YUn7Ln — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We can’t take our eye off the ball when it comes to addressing this crisis. I’ve recently introduced the bipartisan #FIGHTFentanyl Act to permanently criminalize fentanyl-related substances. The current controlled substance order will expire Feb 6, 2020 https://t.co/yKATVeNh2b — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier today on the @SenateFloor, I highlighted the progress my legislation like #STOPAct, #CARA & State Opioid Response grants have made in combating the #opioidcrisis but there’s more to do. https://t.co/dH9TrGI5Oy — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Global Engagement Center is tasked w/ leading US govt efforts to counter propaganda & disinformation from countries like #Russia thanks to the bipartisan legislation I wrote and successfully passed in 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier today at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, I secured a commitment from the nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Russia, John Sullivan to, if confirmed, fully utilize the Global Engagement Center & continue to provide assistance to #Ukraine. https://t.co/rGPOC5J8ri — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

These grants will help those on the frontlines in #Ohio combat the #opioidcrisis as we work together to turn the tide of addiction. I’m pleased that the admin. has taken a leading role in combating this crisis & I will continue working with them to turn the tide of this epidemic — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I authored the Drug-Free Communities Act more than 20 years ago & it remains the most effective program for consistently reducing youth drug use. I welcomed the Trump admin’s announcement today of both new and continued grant recipients in #Ohio. https://t.co/xapW57Oecc — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I was proud to meet this American hero & I’m grateful for his continued service to our nation. Last night, Sgt. 1st Class Waters received the Angels of the Battlefield Award in recognition of his life-saving medical treatment & trauma care on the battlefield. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Honored to have Sgt 1st Class Greg Waters & his wife Jill at our weekly #BuckeyeCoffee. Greg, a Canton, #Ohio native, was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his heroic actions in Afghanistan when he ignored his own injuries & saved the lives of 3 of his fellow soldiers. https://t.co/qGtWQ1bdPn — PolitiTweet.org

Today the Senate stood w/ #Dayton & condemned the horrific attack that claimed the lives of 9 innocent people earlier this year. I’m proud of the way Dayton has come together in support of one another & I’m grateful to my Senate colleagues for passing this resolution unanimously. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’ve recently introduced the Combating Meth & Cocaine Act to help states respond to a surge of overdoses caused by these drugs in our communities. My bill will ensure state opioid response grant funds can also be used for programs focused on treating meth & cocaine addiction — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We’re starting to see fewer overdose deaths due to opioids thanks in part to legislation I’ve helped to enact like #STOPAct, #CRIBAct, #CARA & #CURES, but it’s just a start. We must continue to address the broader issue of addiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Interesting read in @AXIOS today about the Council of Economic Advisors report on the $696 billion cost of the #opioidcrisis in 2018 to the US. We must continue to do everything we can do curb this continuing addiction crisis. https://t.co/L2EosScVTr — PolitiTweet.org

There’s momentum in #Ohio today w/ businesses expanding & seeking skilled workers but we must help by closing the skills gap. My bipartisan #JOBSAct will help more students gain the academic & technical skills, knowledge &training necessary to succeed in the #jobs available today — PolitiTweet.org

https://t.co/uuI2J3L8Vq — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier today on the @SenateFloor, I highlighted the need to continue to build on the economic progress we’ve made by improving skills training & addressing the shortage of skilled workers to fill today’s in demand #jobs. Passing my bipartisan #JOBSAct will help. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

As I highlight in a recent “Dollar & Sense” podcast w/ @BrookingsInst’s @davidrdollar, Canada & Mexico are #Ohio’s 2 largest trading partners & that’s why Congress must pass #USMCA to strengthen our economy & support #Ohio’s farmers & manufacturers. #jobs https://t.co/ZhSybAJX6R — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m grateful for their support on this important legislation and I hope we can pass it here in Congress soon in order to give Americans the opportunity to fill these in-demand #jobs and reach their God-given potential. https://t.co/qcVhEcoYkf — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

From @CrainsCleveland about my bipartisan #JOBSAct: “Can this year’s version of the JOBS Act finally make it into law? We hope so. This kind of expansion of training is one of the few issues that has support across the country among Republicans and Democrats.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

@CrainsCleveland https://t.co/qcVhEcoYkf — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Good read from @CrainsCleveland highlighting my visits around #Ohio to discuss the need to address the skills gap. My bipartisan #JOBSAct will make high-quality & rigorous short-term #job training programs more affordable by expanding access to Pell Grants for low-income students — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague, Senator Kay Hagan of North Carolina. Jane and I will keep her family & loved ones in our prayers & hope they find comfort in this time of grief. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I also reiterated what I’ve said many times before, that we must create a level playing field with #China to help American workers, farmers & manufacturers while also holding them accountable for unfairly taking our intellectual property & violating international trade laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

On the @BrookingsInst Dollar & Sense podcast, I highlighted the many reasons why that #USMCA is superior to the status quo, including creating 176,000 new #jobs, establishing new enforceable labor standards & providing a section on digital trade https://t.co/ZhSybAJX6R — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Thanks to @davidrdollar for including me in his @BrookingsInst podcast, Dollar & Sense. We discussed the importance of passing #USMCA & the need to create a level playing field with #China. #jobs #Ohio https://t.co/ZhSybAJX6R — PolitiTweet.org
