In Dayton, Sherrod Brown Meets With Ohioans Ready To Hold Jon Husted Accountable

COLUMBUS, OH – Yesterday, Sherrod Brown met with Ohioans in Dayton who are fed up with Jon Husted’s corruption that only benefits special interests and billionaires, not hardworking Ohioans.

“Jon Husted has proven that he does not care about hardworking families, and Ohioans are ready to hold him accountable,” said Sherrod Brown. “From bringing over 220 data centers to the state, to voting for the war in Iran 13 times, Jon Husted has chosen corporations over hardworking Ohioans at every turn. Ohio deserves a senator who will stand up to billionaires and special interests, not bow down to them.”

• 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.
