Each and every day, Americans turn on the news and confront alarming stories about an uncertain economy and the instability of the Middle East. While we have made great progress these past seven years, we still have work to do, and we need a leader who will unite our party as one and directly confront these problems.

We need a proud Democrat in the White House who will continue to not only advance our beliefs and policies, but who can realistically navigate the often difficult waters of Washington, D.C.

As a member of Congress, I have seen my share of tough attacks and what Republicans are capable of when it comes to campaigning. Their playbook is ugly. We need a tough competitor. We need Hillary Clinton.



Every four years our great state of Ohio becomes a battleground and is bombarded with negative ads, super PACs and special interests, because no Republican has won the presidency without Ohio. The noise doesn't stop until the last vote is counted on Election Day.

I support Hillary Clinton for president, because she is a strong and resilient leader, standing strong against the roar of attacks and divisive partisan campaigning we see during every presidential election here in Ohio. I know she is more prepared for the challenges this complicated world will throw at our next president than any other candidate, Democrat or Republican.
