I'm very happy where I am: I'm a senator from Ohio.

One thing I will commit to the people of Ohio is, when I'm a U.S. senator and there's issues being debated in Washington, when I'm a U.S. senator they'll know exactly what my position is.

I love working for the people of Indiana. I love helping our citizens make the most of their lives, but I do not love Congress.

I will represent all of the people of Ohio, regardless of their background. I don't care if you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian or a vegetarian, I will be blind to race, religion or any kind of orientation.

I love this university, and although I might be retiring from the presidency, my work with Ohio State will continue.

I'm disappointed that Senator DeWine once again chose to go along with his party leaders and their big corporate lobbyist supporters. Ohio deserves a Senator who will be more than a rubber stamp.

I love Ohio.

I'm for the fracking. I think it's an opportunity for Ohio to really get a lot of jobs. But we have to do it right. We have to really take a deep breath, do it right, make sure the public is protected, make sure our land is protected.

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