Answer from Rob Portman:

Ensuring the safety of our nation and its citizens must be the top priority of the federal government. As a number of the Select Committee on Homeland Security, I will continue to work on a new and effective Department of Homeland Security. I will work with President Bush to ensure the new Department has the tools and flexibilities needed to protect all of us from the very real threat of terrorism.

Answer from Charles W. Sanders:

I would use the time between election day and the swearing in ceremony to convene a comprehensive economic summit with the local officials in each of the seven Counties in the Second District. We would produce an economic model complete with an action plan which I would craft into trendy legislation in Washington as the basis for new and improved collaborations to spur economic growth in some of our most improverished Counties to raise their respective relative standings.
