Ohio’s natural treasures, from Lake Erie to the Ohio River, attract tourists from across America each year, helping drive much-needed revenue, economic growth and local job creation. That’s why I will continue my work to preserve and protect our environment for the benefit of current and future generations, and sportsmen, and make sure all Ohioans have access to clean air and clean water. As your U.S. Senator I will be relentless in protecting the economic value of our greatest natural asset, water.
