Ohio workers and Ohio manufacturers already know that we are, in fact, in a trade war, and the Chinese have done very well, thank you.

We want more stuff stamped 'Made in America.'

This year, we are going to take our government out of the hands of corporate special interests and put it back into the hands of Ohio families - where it belongs.

I mean, the fact of the matter is, Ohio 's coming back because we set a clear path, we cut taxes, we balanced our budget, we got credit upgrades when the whole rest of the world, including America, was being downgraded.

And what we're doing in Ohio is we're moving from a basic manufacturing economy to one that's diversified, including energy and health care and agriculture and IT.

The auto industry is standing today. The middle class is standing today. Ohio is standing today. America is standing strong today.

This is the America we know because we built it.

Ohioans are practical. We're a can-do people. Give us a problem, we'll give you a solution.

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

I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making.
