  • "If we invest in early childhood education and high-quality public schools, and provide skills training and higher education opportunities for the children of eastern and southeastern Ohio, they will have a fair opportunity to compete in the modern, global economy." (votesmart.org)
  • "There are too many politicians in Washington who put the interests of their party ahead of the interests of their constituents. I'll take a different approach and one example of that is the Keystone XL Pipeline. I think President Obama is wrong to have blocked approval of the pipeline because the pipeline will create good paying jobs for Americans in the construction trades.Moreover, the President's refusal to green light the pipeline has hurt our efforts to become energy independent."

  • Member, Ohio Oil and Gas Association, present (votesmart.org)
  • “While in the legislature, I led the democratic effort to pass a comprehensive new energy law that guaranteed affordable and reliable power to residential and business customers, particularly manufacturing plants on the Ohio River. The bill also jumpstarted Ohio’s alternative energy sector and provided energy efficiency standards in Ohio for the first time.” (jennifergarrison.com)
  • "There are too many politicians in Washington who don't understand or respect the role of hunting in communities like ours. I have always supported the 2nd amendment and I was proud to have been endorsed by Buckeye Firearms and the NRA as a state legislator. As a Member of Congress, I will continue to support the 2nd Amendment and our values." (votesmart.org)
  • "Like a lot of Americans, I was frustrated and angered by the process by which Congress enacted the Affordable Care Act. There are admirable parts of the law--covering pre-existing conditions, helping more Ohio families to get health coverage, and raising the age by which children can remain on their parents' plans. But there are serious concerns, such as rising premiums on small businesses and the treatment of multi-employer plans that negatively impact many labor families. I'll work to fix the Affordable Care Act so that it works better for people in our part of Ohio." (votesmart.org)

  • "Social Security is a promise to our seniors. I strongly oppose efforts by some Republicans in Washington to privatize Social Security, which would risk your money in the stock market. Privatizing Social Security would help Wall Street bankers make more money, but it would hurt seniors in Main Streets throughout Ohio…I will fight against any such plan." (votesmart.org)
