Columbus, Ohio - While Ohio’s newest Senator Jon Husted parades around Washington rubber stamping Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees as a desperate attempt to prove his loyalty, he’s also hoping his constituents will forget about his role in the largest corruption scandal in our state’s history. Husted refuses to work for Ohio in his new job, and Ohioans are still waiting for answers about what he did before he got his promotion.

Yesterday, Husted touted his vote to confirm Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and said “the high cost of energy is passed on to the American people.” He should know- Husted is the one who passed it on to Ohioans through his illegal collaboration with FirstEnergy executives to pass House Bill 6. Even years later, he refuses to answer questions about texts exchanged with now-indicted FirstEnergy executives, payments from FirstEnergy to dark money groups supporting his campaign, or his title as the “FirstEnergy’s Golden Boy.”

Ohioans are still waiting for answers about why he was deeply implicated in a scandal that cost them $500,000 a day and still hasn’t been fully repealed. Some Republicans are finally pushing for a full repel of HB6 but they don’t want to actually take accountability. They’re just backpedaling because they don’t want to face the consequences of their own actions at the polls.
