For years, leaders in Columbus have launched an ideological attack on the working men and women of Ohio and their ability to collectively bargain for good wages and safe workplace conditions. That's wrong, and it has to stop.

I'm low key at times and really learning as a political figure to give more - show more of myself and be less buttoned down, which I was when I was a lawyer and I was when I was a federal regulator.

The Fair Debt Collection Act was passed in 1977, and there were never any provisions for rules to be written under it, so it hasn't kept pace with the times.

My job is to take the law as it's given to me and enforce it and implement it faithfully.

I used to be really anxious about money. I got that from my parents. I still am, but for entirely different reasons.

The reality is that financial markets are self-destabilizing; occasionally they tend toward disequilibrium, not equilibrium.

I came from a background where we didn't have bread. I know what it's like to live with money and no money.

We didn't have a TV because we didn't have a whole lot of money. My parents would have their friends over - their friends who thought, 'How can you live without a TV?'
