On Tuesday, January 17, 2012, Ohio senator Rob Portman visited the Hoover Institution to discuss economic policy concerns facing the nation. Portman has extensive experience in both the legislative and executive branches of government, including as director of the Office of Management and Budget and, most recently, as a member of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (i.e., “Supercommittee”). Portman’s campaign for the Senate focused on creating jobs and getting the deficit under control.
