Yesterday we closed out Ohio River Basin Day with our friends from @OhioRiverBasin and @ORSANCOchannel. Their work to protect the Ohio is invaluable and I'm grateful for such a strong partner in our restoration and revitalization efforts.

Kicked off Ohio River Basin Day the best way I know how—with a room full of people committed to protecting and revitalizing our great river. The Ohio needs our help and I'm proud to build on the work of so many local and national partners to lead the charge in Congress.
