Enjoyed putting on the red jacket this morning & giving remarks at the @SkillsUSA rally. We can & should do more to enhance Career & Technical Education & my bipartisan #JOBSAct will help to bridge the skills gap & give Americans the opportunity to fill today’s in-demand #jobs. https://t.co/6WCMIgaEsO — PolitiTweet.org

Another great tele town hall tonight with SE #Ohioans. I was able to hear their thoughts on healthcare, the pensions crisis, immigration & the drug crisis. I always look forward to hearing from #Ohioans so that I can continue to work for them here in Washington. https://t.co/QSTqNFe7Ab — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I traveled more than 4000 miles in my pickup truck & had 75 meetings w/ farmers, #smallbiz owners, factory workers, police officers, drug counselors, recovering addicts & so many others in 39 different counties throughout #Ohio. More in my recent column: https://t.co/e6uYVnfurB — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In my 5 weeks traveling across #Ohio over August & early Sept, I learned a lot from #Ohioans about what’s on their minds & how Washington can help. I’ll continue to fight for all Ohioans & make sure we’re passing legislation that makes a real difference in people’s lives. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate Page Program is a once in a lifetime experience that students will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Students from #Ohio who are interested in the Spring Session Senate Page Program have until November 15th to apply! More info here: https://t.co/OdbPJX3SBT — PolitiTweet.org

The story also highlights my efforts to provide additional resources for combating the #opioidepidemic as well as ensuring these funds are flexible so communities can also address the resurgence of meth & cocaine. https://t.co/jWwsq4Ra6v — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

A new @WashingtonPost story discusses the rise of fentanyl and the devastating impact it has had on US communities. It highlights my efforts to stop this deadly synthetic drug from being shipped in the US from China via our USPS system. My #STOPAct was signed into law last year. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great turnout for @realDonaldTrump and Australian PM Scott Morrison in Wapakoneta today! I’m grateful @POTUS came to #Ohio to highlight how our state is creating #jobs w/ good wages. Australian companies know #Ohio and the US economy are the right place to invest. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve fought for years to ensure that the Joint Systems Manufacturing Plant in #Lima stays open to create the world’s best armored vehicles for our troops. See recent op-ed for @LimaNews. https://t.co/sZDv5pI3CF — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

One of my highest priorities in the US Senate is to ensure that the men & women of our armed forces have the best equipment & cutting-edge tech they need to carry out their critical missions around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

My bipartisan Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act helps the environment and creates jobs by promoting energy efficiency in 3 areas: residential & commercial buildings, the manufacturing sector, and then the biggest energy user of all, the US federal government. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I learned a lot from #Ohioans last month & I’ve taken what I learned back to DC so we can work to make a difference for all #Ohioans. https://t.co/pyR3Pfvqxr — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

When I began my second term representing #Ohio back in 2017, I made it a goal of mine to visit all 88 counties in #Ohio during this term. During August we achieved that goal a few years early. — PolitiTweet.org

So many of today’s jobs require workers w/ the right skills & qualifications. The Skilled Trades Expo in the Mahoning Valley on Sept. 26 will allow students to see firsthand the in-demand jobs of today & tomorrow. https://t.co/fbHqinxGuv — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

.@SenatorCarper and I, as Ranking Member and Chair of #PSI, sent letters to the 9 agencies that couldn’t provide us with the appropriate cost information and demanded that they show us how they will correct these deficiencies. https://t.co/MxvVERtSB8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Permanent Subcmte on Investigations, which I chair, released a report demonstrating why govt shutdowns don’t work for taxpayers or fed employees. Report shows $4 billion cost of recent government shutdowns to taxpayers, but the real number is likely much higher. — PolitiTweet.org

Always great to see another Buckeye win, and Brutus too! Jane and I had a great afternoon in the shoe. https://t.co/9EjsxfYusV — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It’s been 25 years since we passed NAFTA, and it must now be updated to reflect our 21st-century economy. #USMCA is better than NAFTA in every way. I’m urging my Democratic friends who’ve long criticized NAFTA to join us in passing USMCA. https://t.co/lEs9kviZed — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We can and should pass the #USMCA this year. In my recent op-ed for @WashingtonPost I highlight how this trade pact w/ #Canada & #Mexico is good for Ohio #jobs, good for workers & good for farmers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Jane and I are looking forward to attending the @OhioStateFB & @MiamiOHFootball in the “I-70 Bowl” today. Game kicks off at 3:00pm! — PolitiTweet.org

I urge my #Senate colleagues to pass this important legislation soon. https://t.co/RukVESiIeR — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Grateful for @BenjiBacker’s words of support in the @Independent for my bipartisan Restore Our Parks Act which will work to address the nearly $12 billion in long-deferred maintenance backlog in our National Parks. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this week, I delivered remarks at @USDOT thanking @SecElaineChao for selecting #Ohio as a recipient of the first-ever Automated Driving System Demonstration Grant, which will help facilitate partnerships between @ODOT, The Ohio State University, @DriveOhio & the @TRCPG. https://t.co/QPdEGiNcos — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this year, I urged @USDOT to approve ODOT’s grant request for $7.5M for the Automatic Driving System Program at the Transportation Research Center in Central #Ohio. In August, I visited @TRCPG to firsthand to see the good work they could do with grant. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’ve said for years that government shutdowns are stupid and only hurt taxpayers, and our report demonstrates that point. It’s time to pass my End Government Shutdowns Act & ensure we end these pointless shutdowns once and for all. https://t.co/HE0WGob1f5 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this week as chair of the Permanent Subcmte on Investigations, I unveiled a new report that shows that over the past 5 years, the federal govt has been fully or partially shut down for 54 days, costing taxpayers $4 billion. — PolitiTweet.org
