Rob Portman has gone far on his good guy reputation: the dedicated public servant who works in a bipartisan way and gets stuff done. He probably is a good guy. But he votes wrong on almost every issue that matters to us.
He’s back home this week. Tell him what it will take to really be a good guy, and show him how hard it will be to get by on his good guy reputation when so many of us are watching.
