COLUMBUS, Ohio – Hours after Sen. Rob Portman’s surprising announcement on Monday that he wouldn’t run for re-election next year, it didn’t take long for pretty much every elected Republican in Ohio to express at least some level of interest in running to replace him.
Rep. Spanberger introduces bill aimed at rebuilding trust in Congress Rep. Abigail Spanberger (FILE) (Source: wvir) By Daniel Grimes | January 27, 2021 at 9:33 AM EST - Updated January 27 at 3:45 PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -7th District Democratic Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger is working to rebuild trust and transparency on Capitol Hill.
“The fact that there was even the worry or concern that while members of Congress should be focused on how to contend with a global pandemic, they might be making stock choices, to me was worrisome,” Spanberger said.
The bill would require all members of Congress to put certain investment assets in a blind trust during their time in office. A member would be eligible to remove assets 180 days after leaving Congress.
COLUMBUS – After four-and-a-half years of red Make America Great Again caps, raucous rallies and news-making tweets, the Republican party no longer belongs to former President Donald Trump.
As Trump moves out of the White House, Ohio Republicans are left to decide whether their embrace of Trump will persist in a state he dominated twice. What policies will they cling to and which rhetoric will they ditch?
Those decisions will reverberate throughout the Buckeye State in the coming years. Both Gov. Mike DeWine and Sen. Rob Portman face re-election bids in 2022, and Trump already hinted at a primary challenge for the GOP governor.
