My district goes a long ways across the southern part of Ohio, so just the opportunity to get to know so many people is a highlight itself, win or lose.

I have worked closely with many of our county commissioners, mayors, local transportation officials, and others to determine project needs in the 18th District, and they deserve a great deal of thanks for today's victory on the House floor.

Especially in local elections, because hardly anybody pays attention to those - but it's really important who's mayor and who's on the city council, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorney, and of course the school board.

To give you some background, I represent the largest manufacturing district and the largest agricultural district in Ohio.

I don't care much for the cities.

People in New Hampshire know that I'll talk thoughtfully, substantively about any issue.

I've got the most beautiful district. I can understand why Republicans want it.

I'm in my mind a lot. I live there.
