                  OHIO: NUMBER ONE STATE FOR BUSINESS

  (Mr. DAVIDSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the great 
State of Ohio, my home State, for being named the number one State for 
business. As someone who owned and operated manufacturing businesses in 
Ohio before coming to Congress, I know firsthand that our State's 
greatest asset is the hardworking, resilient, and dedicated people who 
power Ohio's economy and build up our communities that make Ohio 
thrive.
  Ohio's number one ranking is a testament to the commitment that has 
propelled Ohio into national leadership in economic growth and 
opportunity that directly benefits our workers and our families.
  Ohio's success didn't happen by accident. It reflects policies that 
encourage investment, reward innovation, and reduce unnecessary 
barriers to growth. When government gets out of the way, Americans do 
what they do best. They build their families, grow businesses, create 
jobs, and strengthen our communities.
  Looking ahead, I know Ohio's business leaders, our Chamber of 
Commerce, and, most importantly, Ohioans themselves will continue to 
thrive. With God all things are possible, and that is especially true 
in the great State of Ohio.
