His conservative credentials are sterling. As a member of the House from 1993 to 2005, he compiled a lifetime voting rating of 89 percent from the American Conservative Union. His average annual rating from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was comfortably above 90 percent. His lifetime voting rating from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action was less than 6 percent. Before leaving Congress in 2005, he became a de facto member of the House Republican leadership and its official liaison to the White House.
Mr. Portman's professional background is steeped in economics. During his dozen years in the House, he became an influential member of both the Budget Committee and the Ways and Means Committee. He left the House in 2005 to become the U.S. Trade Representative. He was instrumental in achieving congressional approval (217-215 in the House) of the Central American Free Trade Agreement. He later served as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
