Cincinnati, OH – Today, Congressman Greg Landsman (OH-01) marks his 100^th day in the U.S. House of Representatives as he serves as a new kind of national leader.

“From day one, my commitment has been to serving as new kind of national leader – one who is bipartisan, reliable, transparent, and accountable,” said Congressman Landsman.

“For years, Southwest Ohio didn’t have a Congressional leader focused on making life better for our children and families. Too often, people in Washington lose focus on what really matters – serving the people and communities they represent.

“My goal is to make life better for the children and families of Southwest Ohio. That means working with Republicans to find issues that we can come together on. It means tackling the outrageous cost of insulin, so parents can ensure their child is able to receive the medical care they need. It means fighting for Community Project Funding that will replace blighted buildings, lead water lines, and worn-out bus shelters. And it means going everywhere, meeting with everyone, and holding town halls in communities across the district to hear exactly what’s on people’s minds every day.

“In our first 100 days, we’ve gotten a lot accomplished – but it’s just the beginning. And I am as committed as ever to serving with transparency, accountability, bipartisanship, and reliability.”
