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
