His career in public service dates back to 1963 when he was appointed assistant attorney general for the State of Ohio. He later served as a State representative, Cuyahoga County commissioner, county auditor, and Lieutenant Governor of the State of Ohio. In 1979, he was elected mayor of Cleveland, serving for 10 years, and in 1990 he was elected Governor of Ohio and served for two terms. George Voinovich is the only person to have served as chairman of the National Governors Association and president of the National League of Cities. In 1998, he was elected to the U.S. Senate and was reelected to a second term in 2004. As mayor, George Voinovich helped turn Cleveland around after it became the first major city to declare bankruptcy since the Depression. As Governor, he led Ohio through the early 1990s recession. During the Voinovich gubernatorial administration, unemployment hit a 25-year low thanks to the creation of 600,000 new jobs, due in part to such initiatives as the Job Creation Tax Credit which helped create or retain at least 163,000 jobs from 1993 to 1998. George Voinovich's leadership and dedication have taken Ohio a long way. He has been guided by his own motto

He is a senior lecturing fellow at the Duke University Law School. He is cochair of the Delaware STEM Council, serves on the board of directors of the Institute for International Education, the Ministry of Caring, and Children and Families First, the board of trustees of Wesley College, and the University of Delaware Engineering College's Advisory Council. He was the chair of the Congressional Oversight Committee of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Ted arrived in the Senate with significant experience, having served 22 years on the staff of U.S. Senator Joseph Biden, 19 years as chief of staff, and taught about the Congress at the Duke University School of Law and Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy for almost 20 years. He used that experience to his advantage. Less than a month after arriving in the Senate, he introduced the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act with Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA). The bipartisan legislation, signed into law by President Obama on May 20, 2009, strengthens the tools and increases the resources available to Federal prosecutors to combat financial fraud. Ted remained a leading voice in the financial debate, successfully pushing the Securities and Exchange Commission to strengthen its short selling rules and advance market structure reforms in such areas as high frequency trading. He was extremely active in trying to solve the problem of financial institutions deemed ''too- big-to-fail,'' calling for a reimposition of the Glass- Steagall Act, which would separate commercial and investment banking activities. Along with Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Ted in April introduced the SAFE Banking Act of 2010, which would cap the size of banks based on their assets and liabilities. His provisions on health care fraud enforcement, which expanded the Government's capacity to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse in government and private health care, were included in the historic health care bill. Initially appointed to two committees
