Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, says it’s difficult to brag about his administration’s economic achievements, because of all the Ohioans left jobless during the national recession.
In an uphill battle to remain employed himself, he came in front of CentralOhio.com editors and reporters and boasted about his achievements, in bringing new jobs to the state and keeping existing ones from leaving.
His Republican opponent, former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman, does not share Fisher’s viewpoint. In a separate interview, he was highly critical of Fisher and Gov. Ted Strickland, contending the recession in Ohio was worse than other states as a direct result of failed leadership.
Jobs and Fisher’s economic record are the central issues in the race to replace retiring Sen. George Voinovich, a Republican.
