The Ironton Tribune is right. 

It shouldn’t take a massive railroad disaster for elected officials to put partisanship aside and work together to stand up to corporations. 

Sen. Vance and I come from different parties, but we’ve come together for the people of our state, just like Sen. Portman and I did.

That’s how you get things done: you listen to the people you serve and you find common ground. 

Let’s put partisanship aside to pass our commonsense bipartisan plan to finally hold big railroad companies accountable.
