Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has been appointed to the U.S. Senate by Governor Mike DeWine, filling the seat vacated by Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. This decision has garnered positive reactions from Ohio’s small business community.
Chris Ferruso, the State Director of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) in Ohio, expressed support for Husted’s new role. “Lt. Gov. Jon Husted understands the issues that are important to our members and will continue to be a strong advocate for them as our next U.S. Senator,” Ferruso stated.
Husted’s leadership in strengthening workforce development programs and promoting job growth has been acknowledged by small businesses in Ohio. His tenure in the Ohio Legislature was marked by a 100% lifetime NFIB voting record over ten years, indicating his alignment with business interests.
Ohio’s small businesses have extended their congratulations to Husted on his appointment and anticipate continued collaboration with him in his new position.
