In Butler County, Sherrod Brown Meets With Ohioans Sick Of Jon Husted’s Corruption

COLUMBUS, OH – Yesterday, Sherrod Brown met with Ohioans in Butler County who are fed up with Jon Husted voting to raise the cost of gas, diesel and health care, making life harder for families who are struggling to make ends meet.

“Ohioans deserve a senator who will make living and working in Ohio less expensive — but time and time again, Jon Husted has voted to raise costs for working families,” said Sherrod Brown. “Ohio can’t afford Husted’s corruption any longer, and come November, Ohioans will hold Husted accountable.”

• 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.
