In response to his selection to serve on the Deficit Reduction Committee, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) is asking his constituents to share their ideas on how to get our record budget deficits and debt under control.

Beginning today, constituents will be able to do so through the new “Reduce the Deficit” page located on Senator Portman’s website. This new feature ensures that taxpayers will have their voices heard as Portman and the other members of the Deficit Reduction Committee work to get our fiscal course back on track.
 
“During my time in public service I have always looked to constituents for good ideas,” said Portman. “This is no different. Your input will play a crucial role in the committee’s work to rein in spending, grow the economy and create jobs.”
 
Constituents looking to submit their ideas should visit the Senator’s website at portman.senate.gov and click on the “Reduce the Deficit” tab up in the right-hand corner. They will then be redirected to a contact form where they can leave their suggestions for Senator Portman on how to reduce our nation’s deficit.
 
Portman is honored to answer the call to serve on this committee and will work hard to ensure that meaningful spending cuts are made to reduce our deficits, change the trajectory of Washington's record high debt, and to encourage economic growth and job creation.[[In-content Ad]]
