Bowling Green, OH, January 25, 2021 | Rebecca Angelson (202.225.6405)

Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH5) provided the following statement after Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) announced he will not be running for re-election in 2022: 

“Senator Rob Portman’s announcement today that he will not run for re-election is bittersweet. Since 2011, Rob has worked diligently, efficiently, and honorably in the Senate on behalf of Ohioans and Americans everywhere. His efforts have focused on common-sense conservative ideas to help create jobs, combat the opioid epidemic, protect our Great Lakes, ensure the men and women in the Armed Forces have the resources they need to safely complete their missions, and far more. And through the many opportunities Rob and I have been able to work together, he has become more than a colleague, but a tremendous friend. Marcia and I send him and Jane our sincere congratulations as they prepare to embark upon their next journey together.”
