The national debate on energy policy and jobs too often breaks down to partisan politics and accusatory rhetoric. The choice given to Americans is between onerous new regulations that will cost thousands of jobs and an approach that ignores environmental concerns.

But with unemployment nationally over 9 percent, and with northwest Ohio facing even higher jobless rates, we need to move past the rhetoric and politics and get to work. We need to produce more energy by U.S. sources and use less energy.  http://portman.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/articles?ID=3853d645-0f9f-4e6e-a1ac-782ea407297a -  


The Wall Street Journal: "Mr. Portman, a White House budget director under President George W. Bush, is seen as having the budget expertise and temperament to become a central player on the so-called supercommittee." - Corey Boles and Kristina Peterson, "Portman Is Touted as a Bridge Builder on Debt Panel." 

The Columbus Dispatch: "His pragmatism and reputation for working across the aisle could make the difference in getting to “yes.”"
- Editorial Board, "Good Choice, Hard Job." 

The Cleveland Plain Dealer: "Smart and affable, Portman understands budgets and knows how to work across the aisle." 
- Editorial Board, "Sen. Portman Takes on an Unenviable Job." 

The Canton Repository: "Given this amount of power, it’s obvious that the committee needs to do the best job possible of finding common ground — and to minimize politicking. Portman has shown that he can do that, a real asset in addition to his expertise in budgeting." 
- Editorial Board, "Smart Choice." 

Senator Rob Portman was born in Cincinnati where he lives today with his wife Jane, and their three children, Jed, Will and Sally.
