In my summer travels across #Ohio, I learned a lot from #Ohioans about their priorities & what they need from the federal gov. This fall, I’ll continue to fight for all #Ohioans & make sure we’re passing legislation that makes a positive difference in people’s lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

My travels across Ohio also allowed me to meet with farmers, the backbone of an agricultural industry that contributes more than $100 billion to #Ohio’s economy every year. We discussed how heavy storms have hurt the ag. community this year & the need to pass #USMCA. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I also met w/ a number of groups working to combat the addiction crisis across #Ohio. State & local organizations have been able to use federal resources provided by laws like my #CARA and #CURES to design innovative approaches to preventing and treating addiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I discussed my bipartisan #JOBSAct with community colleges, high school #CTE programs, and businesses all across #Ohio, as it will help close the skills gap and get more individuals into short-term training programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I met with #smallbiz owners who told me how they’ve benefited from the major #taxreform law enacted in 2017. They’ve used their tax savings to grow their businesses, increase wages for their workers, & hire more employees. We also discussed the need for skilled workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It was a great opportunity to learn more about the priorities of Ohioans across the state & how DC can help. I was able to see firsthand how some of the laws I’ve passed are working to address the #opioidepidemic & expand workforce training. #SORGrants #CARA #STOPACT #JOBSAct — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This summer, I traveled more than 4000 miles across #Ohio in my pickup & had 75 meetings w/ farmers, #smallbiz owners, factory workers, police officers, drug counselors, recovering addicts & others in 39 #Ohio counties. More in my column for @delgazette: https://t.co/THqp7qwxaE — PolitiTweet.org

The 19 people indicted are accused of trafficking fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, & meth. I’m relieved to know these drugs will never make it into our communities. https://t.co/94knm1KC24 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Grateful for the incredible work of our #Dayton #Ohio police officers & federal law enforcement in busting a large drug trafficking ring in the state earlier today. — PolitiTweet.org

The bipartisan Eliminating Discrimination and Creating Corridors to Expand Student Success Act will reform a provision of the tax code to enable those returning from correctional facilities the opportunity to pursue an undergrad education. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last night on @FoxNews w/ @ShannonBream I discussed my efforts to secure the release of the security assistance to #Ukraine & I’m pleased that @POTUS released those funds. I also discussed the Democrats’ rush to impeachment & how I believe it's unwarranted https://t.co/xivUSyhoCK — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Enjoyed meeting with #Ohio Sheriffs this morning to discuss their concerns about border security and immigration and the impact it has had on Ohio’s communities. We also discussed the rise of meth & cocaine that police and first responders are seeing across the state. https://t.co/imA4D0ZoCt — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This summer I traveled >4000 miles around #Ohio. It was a great opportunity to learn more about what’s on #Ohioans’ minds & how Washington can help. In my op-ed for @RichlandSource, I discuss some of the things I saw firsthand when visiting with #Ohioans. https://t.co/r8wNLFin5G — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great to meet with @OHElectricCoops this afternoon. We discussed bipartisan legislation I’ve introduced called the RURAL Act that will help address the lack of rural broadband in #Ohio & promote economic development and #job creation throughout #Ohio. https://t.co/0XzOnKSQYm — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m pleased #SenateENR voted to pass my energy efficiency legislation on a bipartisan basis. It’s a win-win bill that will help create #jobs, reduce carbon emissions, & give our workers in #Ohio & around the US a competitive advantage by making our plants more energy efficient — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I applaud the administration for reaching an agreement on trade with #Japan earlier today, which will open up markets to about $7 billion in U.S. agricultural products. This is good news for #Ohio farmers and our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m glad the Senate passed @SenatorHassan & my bipartisan legislation to strengthen public & private cybersecurity efforts. I hope the House passes it soon so that we can strengthen our response efforts in the event of a cyberattack. https://t.co/cxCWq1WLZh — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, the Permanent Subcmte on Investigations, which I chair, put out a bipartisan report detailing the astronomical cost of the past 3 federal shutdowns. Rather than save $, govt shutdowns actually cost taxpayers billions & I have introduced legislation to end them for good — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Thanks to #Ohio Treasurer @RobertCSprague for stopping by the #BuckeyeCoffee this morning. I’m grateful for all you do to promote strong fiscal stewardship while securing a sound financial footing for #Ohio. https://t.co/XKKingZSkj — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great conversation this morning at my #BuckeyeCoffee. We discussed the importance of increasing energy efficiency & how my bipartisan Energy Savings & Industrial Competitiveness Act will help to do that. I also highlighted the need to reduce prescription drug prices for #Ohioans. https://t.co/byPdrxnseD — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great to meet with #Ohio Honda employees to discuss how the current trade situation is affecting their production. Passing #USMCA will help level the playing field for workers & manufacturers in the auto sector. We need to pass this in a strong & bipartisan manner soon. https://t.co/PSVpO9d2Dx — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

My focus will remain on working w/ my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, and w/ the Trump admin. to strengthen our economy, expand retirement security, pass #USMCA to help Ohio farmers, workers, & manufacturers, tackle the opioid crisis, and pursue other priorities for Ohio. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The American people want us to get things done for them rather than focus on more & more partisan investigations. The Democrats’ impeachment inquiry will distract Congress from the bipartisan legislative work we should be doing to find solutions & deliver results for Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great to be on @FoxBusiness this afternoon with Charles Payne @cvpayne to highlight my End Government Shutdowns Act and discuss my support for the president’s decision to release foreign aid to #Ukraine. https://t.co/TgaeDXuuZV — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great news: The Trump admin announced that seniors w/ Medicare Advantage health care plans will see their premiums decline, on average, by 14 percent in 2020, the lowest level since 2007. Plan choices, benefits & enrollment continue to increase. https://t.co/a8fLIy9P1S — PolitiTweet.org
