Columbus, Ohio - This week, Ohio Senator Jon Husted is marking 100 days in office after taking a literal get out of jail free card from Governor Mike DeWine. Whether it’s ignoring his constituents or rubber stamping everything Donald Trump does no matter how it affects Ohioans, it’s been a rough start for Senator Husted.
Senator Husted has faced protests for ignoring his constituents as he rubber stamps Donald Trump’s unpopular agenda. Voters have struggled to reach his office, often getting a voicemail box. He took almost the full 100 days to open a single office in the state, and only after Ohioans repeatedly protested his lack of interest in the state he’s supposed to represent.
However, Senator Husted isn’t just bad at his job. He continues to rubber stamp Donald Trump’s extreme and dangerous agenda without a second thought about what’s right for Ohioans. During confirmation hearings for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Husted said cabinet nominees should “get confirmed and move on.” Hegseth would go on to endanger American soldiers through this reckless use of technology. In a recent interview, Husted appeared to agree with cutting taxes for billionaires, but backtracked to clarify he’d just do whatever Donald Trump wanted him to do.
“Whether it’s families struggling with grocery bills, veterans whose benefits have been cut, or public service workers who suddenly find themselves without a job, Ohioans are hurting 100 days into Husted’s term,” said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. “Senator Husted has told us himself that he just does whatever Donald Trump wants regardless of how it impacts Ohioans. In the next 100 plus days, we hope he starts to stand up for his constituents- but we’re not holding our breath.”
