Friend,
Throughout this August District Work Period, I've had the opportunity to sit down with constituents throughout Ohio's Second District, to listen to your thoughts on issues of the day and important policy topics like healthcare and tax reform. Check out a few highlights below.
Your thoughts and feedback are important to me as I work to effectively represent you in the House of Representatives. Click here to share your thoughts, and here to schedule a meeting. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours in service,

| Legislation: Tax Reform |
|
|
Across Ohio's Second District -- as I sit down and talk with small business owners, manufacturers, restaurant owners, and other constituents -- I've heard three common requests when it comes to tax reform:
- Competitive. Right now America has the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world. Our employers need to be able to compete on a global scale -- which is why we need to lower the corporate tax rate to 20%.
- Comprehensive. The tax code hasn't been overhauled since 1986. To say it is complex and convoluted is an understatement. At this point, it doesn't just need a tweak here and there - we need to streamline the entire code into a 21st century, pro-growth system that benefits everyone, from families to employers.
- Concrete. Uncertainty cripples small businesses -- what our employers need is permanent reform, so they can plan for growth and success 5, 10, 20 years down the road.

Last stop before flight
Last week, I toured General Electric's (GE) test facility in Peebles, OH. This facility is the 'last stop before flight,' where engines are tested and must go through simulations of real-world hail and ice storms, typhoon conditions, and winds up to 100 mph. During my discussion with GE employees, they stressed the importance of comprehensive and permanent tax reform to allow companies like GE, start-ups, and small businesses in Ohio and across the country to continue to provide jobs to our communities and spur American innovation for generations to come.

Ramp It Up
'Ramp it up for Veterans' provides renovations for Cincinnati veterans' homes, including the installation of ramps to make it easier to enter the home in a wheel chair.
This week, I helped install a ramp at the home of a veteran in Milford. It's little things like this that we can do everyday, to help our neighbors and thank those who have served for our freedom.

Council on Aging
Throughout August, a variety of constituent groups joined me in my office in Cincinnati to share their thoughts and ideas with me about legislation in Congress.
One of these groups was the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing quality of life for older adults, people with disabilities, their families and caregivers. It was great to sit down with them to hear their thoughts on how our community can better serve the elderly. |
| Cincinnati VA |
|
I spoke at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center on the importance of leadership in the VA as our country continues to work to make sure we are providing our nation's heroes with the best possible care and treatment. I also hosted a Q&A session afterward and answered questions on topics like VA reform and healthcare. |
