Over the past decade we have made progress in combating human trafficking. Am proud to have led efforts in Congress to enact #SESTA this year to curb online trafficking but there much more to do to end this scourge once and for all. https://bit.ly/2EWuLmx 

I want to thank @SenBobCorker for his tireless & courageous efforts to combat modern slavery around the globe. I’m honored he has entrusted me with this leadership role & I will continue my work to end this scourge once & for all. https://bit.ly/2EWuLmx 

I'm thrilled that an agreement has been reached for Columbus Crew SC to stay in Columbus under the operation of the Haslam & Edwards families. Congrats to @alexfischercbus, the Columbus Partnership, @mayorginther, the City of Columbus & all of the fans for their great work.https://twitter.com/AlexFischerCBUS/status/1078719658684018688 …

There is no place for slavery to exist in our society today. Honored to be entrusted in carrying on @SenBobCorker’s important work.https://twitter.com/senbobcorker/status/1078760136087359488 …

I hope everyone is able to be with their loved ones this holiday season. Jane and I would like to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you and yours.

I’m genuinely humbled by the widespread support my bipartisan Second Chance Act has received across #Ohio. Everyone deserves a second chance to live up to their God-given potential & I’m proud that we successfully renewed & strengthened this law. https://bit.ly/2GrEUsJ 

Yesterday #POTUS signed into law my bipartisan legislation to renew & strengthen the Second Chance Act, which I first authored more than a decade ago in the House. It is making a difference across #Ohio by helping former inmates become productive members of society.

In a joint op-ed with w/ @SenSherrodBrown, we called on @GM to invest in the highly productive #Lordstown plant instead of shuttering the doors. https://bit.ly/2R63QdE 

I’ve introduced legislation called End Government Shutdowns Act to ensure that we don’t have shutdowns going forward. They always cost taxpayers more and create unnecessary problems. I will continue to push to make that legislation the law of the land.

I am disappointed parties haven't already come together to avoid a shutdown. There’s no reason we can’t both strengthen our border security & keep the government open. I am talking to all sides to find a way forward.

Pleased my bipartisan bill promoting conservation & reducing greenhouse gas emissions just passed the #House. It will help us build stronger relationships w/ other countries while ensuring our natural resources are protected. Expect POTUS to sign in the coming days.

The #Senate passed @SenatorShaheen and my bipartisan legislation that will protect the environment by promoting the re-refining of used oils & other lubricants. The Re-refining industry creates #jobs and is energy efficient. https://bit.ly/2EKsMSd 

The Second Chance Act helps former inmates create their own future as opposed to being held back from mistakes of their past. It has already changed thousands of lives across #Ohio and the country. I’m proud it is now the law of the land. https://bit.ly/2LwjuK2

Today @POTUS signed my bipartisan Second Chance Reauthorization Act I led with @SenatorLeahy as part of criminal justice reform. This bill is critical to our efforts to stop the revolving door of incarceration & help former inmates live up to their God-given potential.
