Rep. Boehner Endorses Portman for Senate

Statement:

“There is no stronger candidate to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate than Rob Portman. Rob is a capable and principled reformer, well-liked throughout the Buckeye State and well-known for his commitment to policies that help create new jobs. With Congressional Democrats plotting to increase government spending to unprecedented levels, America will need an experienced public servant like Ohio’s Rob Portman to help keep Washington from burying our children under mountains of debt.



“Rob has spent his career advocating for everyday families and small businesses, and has been an important partner in the fight against wasteful spending. For example, in Congress he was instrumental in crafting legislation to strengthen retirement options for workers. And his tenure as OMB Director led to the first-ever online earmark database accessible to the public -- an important tool for taxpayers weary of runaway pork-barrel spending.



“A leader with the unique ability to build a consensus around his core principles, Rob knows how to get things done -- and he has the record to prove it. Rob Portman is a good friend and a principled conservative, and I look forward to working with him again on behalf of our great state.”
