Today, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste Political Action Committee (CCAGW PAC) announced its endorsement of four Ohio candidates:  Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) for re-election to the U.S. Senate; and Reps. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.

CCAGW PAC based its endorsements on each candidate’s lifetime score as listed in CCAGW’s 2015 Congressional Ratings.

Sen. Portman has a laudable 86 percent lifetime rating.  Rep. Chabot has a lifetime rating of 98 percent, Rep. Jordan has a lifetime rating of 97 percent, and Rep. Wenstrup has a lifetime rating of 92 percent.

“During their tenures in the Senate and House, these members of Congress have served the citizens of Ohio with great distinction,” said CCAGW PAC Chairman Tom Schatz. “On top of their prestigious voting records, they worked with their colleagues to restrain the growth of federal spending and to help make government more accountable and transparent to taxpayers.”

“Their abiding commitment to fiscal conservatism is one of the many reasons that I urge Ohioans to vote for Sen. Portman, and Reps. Chabot, Jordan, and Wenstrup on November 8, so that they can continue to hold the line on Washington’s big-spending agenda, and fight to restore accountability and fiscal discipline to the nation’s capital,” concluded Schatz.

CCAGW PAC is affiliated with the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, a 501(c)(4) organization.  CCAGW PAC’s mission is to support political candidates who will fight to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government and represent the best interests of taxpayers.
