Former U.S. Sen. Rob Portman told an audience gathered on the Texas A&M University campus this week that voters hold the key to bringing America together. Portman, who served as a U.S. senator from Ohio from 2011-2023, spoke on bipartisanship Wednesday as part of the 2024 ConocoPhilips White House Lecture series. The series is hosted by the Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics, and Public Policy in the Bush School of Government and Public Service.
