In Cleveland, Sherrod Brown Meets With Ohioans Who Are Ready To Vote

COLUMBUS, OH – Yesterday on the High Cost Husted Tour, Sherrod Brown met with Ohioans in Cleveland who are ready to hold Jon Husted accountable for ignoring the needs of hardworking people. Ohioans are ready to end the rigged system that works for billionaires, special interests, and politicians like Jon Husted.

“Cleveland is sick and tired of the rigged system that Jon Husted has defended at every turn,” said Sherrod Brown. “Ohioans are working harder than ever yet they are struggling to make ends meet because Jon Husted has voted to raise the cost of gas, diesel, groceries, utilities, and health care. Ohioans deserve a Senator who will fight for them in Washington, not special interests and billionaires.”

Read more on Jon Husted’s affordability crisis that’s hurting Ohioans: 

• 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 voted time and time again to raise gas and grocery prices, 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 five 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.
