In Cleveland, Sherrod Brown Meets With Ward 9 Families Ready For Change

COLUMBUS, OH – Yesterday in Cleveland, Sherrod Brown, Rep. Shontel Brown and Councilwoman Meredith Turner met with Ohioans in Ward 9 who are fed up with the system that Jon Husted has rigged against hardworking Ohioans.

“Clevelanders have seen time and time again how Husted bows down to billionaires and corporations while leaving hardworking Ohioans behind,” said Sherrod Brown. “As Husted puts his special interest friends first, Ohio families are being left in the dust. I will always look out for the best interests of Ohioans. Together in November, we will make sure Ohio has a senator who works for the people of Ohio, not special interests and billionaires.”

• As Husted actively makes life harder for Ohio families, he says that struggling Ohioans aren’t “experienced at navigating the real world,” that they should  “earn more” money, and calls their work ethic “broken.”
• Because of Husted’s efforts to cut deals to bring data centers to the state, Ohioans have seen their utility bills skyrocket.
  • Ohio saw the second largest utility rate increase in the country.
  • As families struggle with soaring bills, Husted blamed Ohioans for bringing data centers to Ohio.

• Jon Husted has done nothing but watch as gas and grocery prices soar, leaving hardworking families to foot the bill.
• In the Senate, Husted has voted nine times to increase health care premiums on Ohio families — all to help pay for the largest tax cut for billionaires in history. 
• As Ohio small businesses face skyrocketing costs, Jon Husted voted three times against reining in reckless tariffs saying “you don’t hear from the ones that love it.”
  • After the Supreme Court ruled some tariffs unconstitutional, Husted said tariff refunds should not go back to Ohioans who paid it.
