U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio,
really is a liberal, at least according to
the National Journal, a Washington, D.C.,-based magazine that keeps a
close eye
on Congress.
Ratings released on Friday, Feb. 26,
by the magazine showed Brown tied with
three other Democrats — Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode
Island and
Ben Cardin of Maryland — for the Senate’s most liberal voting record in
2009.
Ohio’s other senator, Republican
George Voinovich, ranked closer to the
middle. He had the 37th most conservative record on roll call votes.
In the House, Minority Leader John
Boehner, R-West Chester, had the most
conservative record among area members. Boehner was the 14th most
conservative
House member, according to the rankings.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, was 19th
most conservative. Rep. Steve Austria,
R-Beavercreek, was 117th most conservative and Rep. Mike Turner,
R-Centerville,
had the 154th most conservative voting record.
