In 1992, DeWine unsuccessfully ran for United States Senate against the former astronaut and incumbent Senator John Glenn. His campaign used the phrase, "What on earth has John Glenn done?", echoing Jeff Bingaman's slogan "What on Earth has he done for you lately?" against former astronaut Harrison Schmitt in their 1982 Senate race.[17][18]

In 1994, DeWine ran again for Senate, defeating prominent attorney Joel Hyatt (the son-in-law of retiring Senator Howard Metzenbaum) by a 14-point margin. DeWine was reelected in 2000, defeating gunshow promoter Ronald Dickson (161,185 votes, or 12.44%) and former U.S. Rep. Frank Cremeans (104,219 votes, or 8.05%) in the primary and Ted Celeste (brother of former Ohio governor Dick Celeste) in the general election. DeWine sat on the Senate Judiciary and Select Intelligence committees. He was the initial sponsor of the Drug-Free Century Act in 1999.[19] He voted in favor of the 2002 Iraq Resolution authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein.[20]

How to help
To learn more about Hands Together, or to make a donation to support college scholarships for graduates of the Becky DeWine School, visit www.handstogether.org.
When top students graduate from American high schools, we marvel that they have survived 5 a.m. swim practices and all-night study sessions.
When Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and his wife, Fran, recently attended the first graduation ceremony of the Becky DeWine School in the Port au Prince slum known as Cite Soleil, they witnessed the true meaning of perseverance.
“It was a very moving experience for us,” Mike DeWine said. “Fran and I talked about what survivors these kids truly are. They have survived an horrendous earthquake, a cholera epidemic, and random violence in the streets. Their classmates have been murdered, and two of their teachers were murdered a year ago. And that doesn’t even take into account the day-to-day life in Cite Soleil, one of the worst slums in the world.”
The DeWines have long supported Hands Together, the charity that runs the Becky DeWine School named in honor of their 22-year-old daughter who died in a car crash in 1993.
Becky’s portrait smiled down on the school’s first graduating class as the 120 graduates in their shining white-and-green robes swayed and sang a prayer of thanksgiving in their native French Creole.
The Becky DeWine School’s eight campuses in Cite Soleil have an enrollment of roughly 5,000 students, serving 9,677 daily meals. “It’s a very emotional fact that school is named for Becky,” DeWine said. “We think of Becky and one of the tough things for any parent who has lost a child is that you wonder what they would have done with their lives. Becky was a caring and compassionate person. She’s not here to do this, so we have tried to do it in her name and in her honor.”
DeWine’s perspective on Haiti has evolved since his early years in the Senate. “At first I thought that what we were doing in the Senate and as individuals could have a dramatic impact on Haiti,” DeWine said. “Now I know we can’t do that.Our mission is not to save Haiti, because that’s beyond us. But we can affect one child at a time. Our goal is to help that child survive and have a meaningful life. By accident of birth these kids were born in Haiti instead of Beavercreek. Some of the kids don’t make it, and some of them drop out, but we provide an opportunity for success.”
