It was nice to catch up with Bishop Macon, his wife, First Lady Marilyn, and their sons, pastors Larry Macon, Jr. and Daniel Macon before the service. I always appreciate the congregation’s warm welcome and Bishop Macon delivered a powerful sermon, as always. https://t.co/IuqanjKyGx — PolitiTweet.org

Jane and I always enjoy an inspiring sermon from our friend, Bishop Larry Macon (@drmacon). It was a beautiful service today at Mt. Zion Church of Oakwood Village. https://t.co/krZY1wEs3e — PolitiTweet.org

#LakeErie supports fishing & tourism industries totaling nearly $13B - the top tourist destination in #Ohio. I enjoyed my roundtable discussion in Sandusky w/ local leaders to highlight how we can work together on the state & federal level to ensure we protect this #Ohio treasure https://t.co/dL9YsQVnml — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Grateful @RepDaveJoyce was able to attend our annual trip on #LakeErie & roundtable. It’s our responsibility as #Ohioans to keep #LakeErie clean for the thousands of people who rely on the lake for their clean drinking water, recreation & for the growing tourism business. https://t.co/9uo34TBS97 — PolitiTweet.org

I recently introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the #GLRI which funds innovative projects to address these issues. https://t.co/0WEE7Jpyyu — PolitiTweet.org

Great discussion today at my annual #LakeErie roundtable. Helpful in my role as cochair of the Senate Great Lakes task force. We highlighted the issue of harmful algal blooms, invasive species, and more. https://t.co/FJ4B0sHF81 — PolitiTweet.org

It was a beautiful day on #LakeErie. Every summer I go fishing on Lake Erie and hear from experts, but we don’t always catch this many fish! Thanks to my friend, Captain Paul, for taking me out this morning. https://t.co/gV8KN2Frxx — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I always look forward to my annual #LakeErie Roundtable and Walleye fishing trip. Good to get out on the water with some experts, get their input on water quality and more, and highlight the importance of #LakeErie to #Ohio and our nation. https://t.co/LVwc2XB6Kv — PolitiTweet.org

I was grateful to receive the 2019 Great Lakes Legislator of the Year award from the Great Lakes Maritime Task Force. Protecting the #GreatLakes for recreation, drinking water, commercial activity & #jobs is one of my top priorities & I was honored to be recognized w/ this award. https://t.co/dZVyPoDTzW — PolitiTweet.org

Had the honor of attending the visitation for Pfc Brandon Kreischer in Bryan, #Ohio this evening. He died serving all of us in Afghanistan. From family, friends & high school administrators, I heard about a wonderful & passionate young man whose mission was to serve his country. https://t.co/oC9JFkT30d — PolitiTweet.org

I enjoyed touring Great Lakes Towing Company, an international, full-service marine transportation organization providing towing, maintenance and repair, and new construction services. I was able to see the beautiful #Cleveland skyline from the water! https://t.co/7OhduCES2U — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last year, @POTUS signed into law the Coast Guard Reauthorization Act, which included my legislation to provide regulatory certainty for ballast water while ensuring the #GreatLakes are protected from the spread of invasive species. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m honored to be named the 2019 Great Lakes Legislator of the Year by the Great Lakes Maritime Task Force due to my efforts to help advance commerce on the #GreatLakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. https://t.co/AbzRNgJEIN — PolitiTweet.org

Following the tour, I had a great discussion w/ the Army Corps, @OhioDNR, @OhioEPA, & othersdiscussing the environmental impacts of the Port. As co-chair of the Senate #GreatLakes Task Force, I’ll continue to lead the fight to protect our #GreatLakes. https://t.co/dHO3gD2AFv — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I continued my north coast tour by visiting Ashtabula Port with the Growth Partnership to see the Petmin Project, a dedicated manufacturing facility for the production of nodular pig iron. https://t.co/dLT1li4Wyt — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I've introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the #GreatLakes Restoration Initiative, a successful public-private partnership, to address toxic algal blooms, invasive species & pollutants. #LakeErie is an #Ohio treasure, it's our responsibility to preserve & protect it. https://t.co/QuuvwY5aMJ — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I enjoyed today’s discussion at a #Sandusky roundtable regarding the importance of #LakeErie in promoting #Ohio tourism on #LakeErie. It’s important to ensure the health and ecosystem of #LakeErie so that it continues to be a top tourist destination. https://t.co/Fs5ZeGiAje — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Harmful algal blooms are a serious concern every year for our #GreatLakes & I’ll continue to partner w/ programs like @OhioState’s @Ohioseagrant & @StoneLab in order to ensure our #GreatLakes are protected. https://t.co/KBSFXqiy8E — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I enjoyed my visit w/ @OhioState’s @Ohioseagrant & @StoneLab today to see the research & projects they are doing on harmful algal blooms that have been funded through my bipartisan Harmful Algal Bloom & Hypoxia Research & Control Act. #GreatLakes https://t.co/KiTF6LB2LA — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I returned to the Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial in Put-in-Bay #Ohio today & saw once again the long-term maintenance required along the sea wall. My bipartisan Restore Our Parks Act will help address the $100M in backlog costs at all of #Ohio’s 8 #NationalParks. https://t.co/cLQbQnS5s4 — PolitiTweet.org

Logan Turner was a bright and charismatic 30-year-old whose life was cut too short. Jane and I were honored to meet with his family yesterday. #DaytonStrong https://t.co/3KAxmdiRfH — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS for coming to #Dayton today to comfort those who were injured or lost loved ones and thank those who responded so compassionately and effectively to the tragedy. Appreciated your visit. — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to stand with @GovMikeDewine, @SenSherrodBrown, @RepMikeTurner, & Mayor @NanWhaley today & represent #Ohio. We are united in our grief for our state & proud of #Ohioans for coming together in this time of need. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m grateful for @realdonaldtrump & @FLOTUS’s visit to #Dayton today to show their support for #Ohio after the tragic shootings this weekend. #Ohio is hurting, but our communities will continue to lift each other up as we heal. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This issue should be addressed at the federal level, too. I look forward to seeing the details of these proposals and working with my colleagues in #Congress on both sides of the aisle on effective legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Much like some red flag laws, a new Mental Health Protection Order could be a positive step forward, protecting due process rights while getting firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to others. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today @GovMikeDeWine outlined a number of sensible proposals in response to the tragic shooting in #Dayton. — PolitiTweet.org

Jane and I were saddened to learn that Toni Morrison, a literary giant and a daughter of Lorain, #Ohio, passed away this morning. The first African-American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, her trailblazing spirit left an indelible mark on American literature. — PolitiTweet.org
