We should not approve an agreement that fails to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and does nothing to address Iranian behavior that threatens our allies and our interests.
— Rob Portman
I have decided to endorse Governor John Kasich for president because he is a leader who has a proven record of delivering results. John turned Ohio around at a tough time, and I believe he can do the same for our country.
What I support is a whole different approach with regard to drug use, and that is spending less money on the prosecution and incarceration side and more money on prevention and education, which I know works.
Trump is going to be the change agent. Hillary Clinton is going to be the status quo. Bernie Sanders is not going to be in the mix.
Working together with Democrats and Republicans, I passed legislation to help break the grip of addiction. By investing in prevention, treatment, and recovery, empowering law enforcement, and stopping the overprescribing of painkillers, we can turn the tide.
The Obama economy is great for rich people. It's terrible for everybody else.
Let's replace Obamacare with reforms that put you back in charge of your own healthcare.
Kyrie Irving could use a little help.
One of the big issues in Ohio and elsewhere is people do not have the skills to take advantage of the openings that are out there.
We must make clear that if you come here illegally, you will be sent back home.
My dad did everything he could. It was a start-up, and the banks didn't want to lend him enough money, so he mortgaged our house.
I'm on the Armed Services Committee, which gives me the opportunity to get involved on some of these international issues. My focus is, as you know, on the economic issues and budget issues.
I don't know what's going to happen specifically on votes on Obamacare. I suspect we'll vote to repeal early to put on record the fact that we Republicans think it's a bad policy, and we think it's hurting our constituents, and we think health care cost should be going down, not up.
We want more stuff stamped 'Made in America.'
The Buckeye Build will have a lasting impact on Cleveland, and it is an honor to be a part of it.
I support repeal, but I think we ought to also spend time on the replacement side of that. The Republican approach has never been, 'Let's get rid of this,' but, 'Let's replace it with something that does deal with a very real problem in our healthcare system.' And that is the entry's cost and lack of coverage.
When it is fair, American workers can compete and win. I cannot support the TPP in its current form because it doesn't provide that level playing field.
The broad goal, laid out by Congress, the Obama administration, and the U.N. Security Council, was that Iran would suspend all enrichment-related activities and not be permitted a path to ever pursue a nuclear weapons program.
Our country needs people who are maybe a little less focused on themselves and on the flash and a little more focused on how do we actually create a better environment for success for our young people, how do we get people back to work, how do we regain our standing internationally.
We need to do a much better job when people are addicted to take them through treatment and recovery.
Trump and Bernie Sanders are different sides of the same coin.
At the end of the day, all the best negotiating techniques can't overcome the most substantive policy differences.
I'm not here today to tell you government doesn't have a role to play. It does, but it needs to be the right role.
Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress believed we could spend our way to prosperity, and I guess they still do.
It's the wrong time for us to be pulling the rug out from under American exporters.
We need to figure out how to connect people to jobs.
Out of college, I had two job offers. One was to be a canoe instructor for Outward Bound. And frankly, that would have paid better than the job I took, working on a policy commission in Washington that focused on immigration policy and refugees. But that decision made all the difference.
Having deinstitutionalized mental health, we have not created the structure and the institutions to take care of people, to identify when there is a mental health problem, and to get the treatment to people.
I'm very happy where I am: I'm a senator from Ohio.
I'm focused, as you can tell, on 2014 and on doing my job as a senator.
I'm not representing any organization. I represent the people of Ohio, and a lot of people in Ohio feel very strongly about their Second Amendment rights.
Habitat for Humanity is making Cleveland better every day.
We think healthcare costs should be going down, not up. We think people should be able to keep insurance that they had.
I am disappointed that the President made the decision to have Ambassador Froman sign the TPP agreement in New Zealand.
I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married.
I can give a speech, and I can do a rally, and I do them, but that's not what I like to do.
We should not throw in the towel. Instead, we should be saying to young people, 'There is a better way for you to have a healthy and productive life, and that's not to get into drug use and drug abuse.'
I'm a religious liberty supporter - I strongly believe in that.
The Social Security disability fund is going belly up in 2016.
Decisions about your health should be between you and your doctor, not a bureaucrat and an insurance company. Let's expand choice rather than limiting it. Let's create jobs instead of destroying them. And let's bring down the costs instead of driving them up.
The wealthy are doing just fine in the Obama economy.
We need a broader party. If we're not doing better with millennials and women and Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans and others, we will have a tough time being a majority party at the national level.
Senator Brown and I have different philosophies as represented in our different ratings: I am a conservative, and he is a liberal.
No one in my family had ever been in politics. My dad thought it was something that got in the way.
My view is that I'm best able to serve my state and my country where I am.
The Iron Dome system is a proven way for Israel to defend its citizens from hostile threats and will advance missile defense technology for us and other allies.
We want more of our products going overseas, but the trick is to have a level playing field.
We have to ensure we are aggressively enforcing existing laws.
I may sound naive, since everyone's decided the next two years are going to be all about 2016, but I look at what's happened over the years when there's been divided government. That's when we've done tax reform, that's when we've done entitlement reform - to move this economy forward on these big issues.
As the crisis in Syria grows and the humanitarian tragedy becomes more clear, I appreciated Prime Minister Netanyahu's perspective on the changes and volatility in the region.
