(Washington) - Senator Rob Portman says he won t run for another term, saying he s frustrated with the partisan gridlock on Capitol Hill.
The Cincinnati-area Republican has been in federal government for 30 years, now in his second term in the Senate. Before that, Portman served in the U.S. House. He has also been director of the Office of Management and Budget, U.S. Trade Representative, and White House Director of Legislative Affairs.
Portman says he plans to spend more time with family, and go hunting, fishing, and bicycling. He s not ruling out another run for public office, but says he d more than likely be active in the private sector on public policy issues.
U.S. Reps. Steve Stivers and Bill Johnson, both Republicans who represent Athens County, are considering running for U.S. Sen. Rob Portmanâs Senate seat in 2022.
Stivers, who comfortably won re-election in 2020, is said to be mulling a bid for the higher office, according to those familiar with his thinking.
He would forgo his seat in the House of Representatives in the event that he pursued a campaign for the Senate and won the primary, creating an opening in Ohioâs 15th Congressional District for the first time since 2011.
Johnson, who also won re-election in 2020 and whose district brushes up to Athens County, said in a statement that he is âseriously consideringâ launching a campaign for the seat and will talk with family and friends to determine if itâs something he should pursue. He would also forgo his House seat if he were to win the Republican primary.
