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

Cover of TRIBUTES TO HON. EVAN BAYH Evan Bayh U.S. SENATOR FROM INDIANA TRIBUTES IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TONGRESS.#15 ? [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] T4800.001 Evan Bayh ? Tributes Delivered in Congress Evan Bayh United States Senator 1999-2011 a ? Compiled under the direction of the Joint Committee on Printing CONTENTS Biography............................................. v Farewell to the Senate................................ vii Proceedings in the Senate: Tributes by Senators: Akaka, Daniel K., of Hawaii.................... 12 Alexander, Lamar, of Tennessee................. 3 Conrad, Kent, of North Dakota.................. 7 Dodd, Christopher J., of Connecticut........... 11 Durbin, Richard, of Illinois................... 11 Enzi, Michael B., of Wyoming................... 9 Harkin, Tom, of Iowa........................... 14 Hatch, Orrin G., of Utah....................... 13 Landrieu, Mary L., of Louisiana................ 7 Levin, Carl, of Michigan....................... 8 Murkowski, Lisa, of Alaska..................... 18 Reed, Jack, of Rhode Island.................... 5 Reid, Harry, of Nevada......................... 5, 6 Snowe, Olympia J., of Maine.................... 16 Warner, Mark R., of Virginia................... 5 BIOGRAPHY U.S. Senator Evan Bayh is focused on providing hard- working Hoosier families with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed today. From his work to help stimulate the economy by creating jobs and growing small businesses to his fight to keep a college education within the reach of all Hoosiers, Senator Bayh continues to break through the partisan gridlock of Washington to help more Hoosiers make a better life for themselves and their children. His commitment to making real progress instead of participating in political showdowns has set Senator Bayh apart as a leader on a wide range of important issues facing the Nation. Elected to his second term in November 2004, Senator Bayh has proven he is ''more concerned with reflecting what he believes is right for Indiana citizens than with playing to the Beltway crowd,'' says the Indianapolis Star. His signature legislative efforts are aimed at strengthening our national security, creating more jobs through the growth of small businesses, protecting American workers from unfair trade practices, encouraging responsible fatherhood, and providing tax-relief for families struggling with the rising costs of college, retirement, and the long-term care of a loved one. Senator Bayh has taken the lead in providing our troops with the armored vehicles they need and has visited Iraq and Afghanistan several times for a firsthand look at the progress on the ground. He has also led the fight to cut through the mire of bureaucracy to ensure our Nation's wounded soldiers receive the high quality care they need and deserve. Evan Bayh served on six Senate Committees: Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, for which he was the chairman of the Subcommittee on International Trade and Finance; Armed Services, for which he was the chairman on Readiness and Management Support; Energy and Natural Resources; the Select Committee on Intelligence; Small Business and Entrepreneurship; and the Special Committee on Aging. While some have been content to let partisanship continue to threaten progress on the Nation's most pressing issues, Evan Bayh has continued to look for ways to build consensus and do what's right for Americans. In January 2005, he spearheaded the creation of the Third Way, an organization focused on commonsense legislative solutions on issues that would otherwise remain bogged down in political turf wars. Senator Bayh also served for more than 4 years as chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, which offers support to elected officials and community leaders who take a progressive approach to the issues facing the country. Before his election to the Senate, Evan Bayh was elected in 1988 to the first of two terms as Governor of Indiana, where he established the State as one of the strongest, most financially secure economies in the Nation. ''Mr. Bayh's record,'' reported the Wall Street Journal in 1992, ''is one of a genuinely fiscally conservative Democrat.'' Stressing fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, job creation, and lean government, Bayh's list of achievements include 8 years without raising taxes; the greatest single tax cut and largest budget surplus in State history; national leadership in moving people from welfare to work; more dollars for schools every year; high academic standards and new college opportunities for all, including low-income students; more than 350,000 new jobs; tougher laws on crime; and improved environmental quality. Evan Bayh was born in Shirkieville, IN. He graduated with honors in business economics from Indiana University in 1978, and received his law degree from the University of Virginia in 1981. After clerking for a Federal court judge and entering private law practice in Indianapolis, he was elected Indiana's secretary of state in 1986, the first of his five statewide victories. Senator Bayh counts as his most important role and greatest responsibility a position he assumed in November 1995: proud father of twin sons Beau and Nick
