Hand-picked Senator Jon Husted is already showing Ohioans exactly why he doesn’t deserve the job – by backing devastating cuts that rip away health care, gut research funding, and drive up costs for working families.
While refusing to lift a finger to stop skyrocketing health care premiums, Husted is proudly supporting GOP budget cuts that are doing real damage to Ohio.
Here’s what Husted did for Ohio:
- $37 billion in Medicaid funding lost over the next decade.
- 310,000 Ohioans stripped of their health insurance.
- $29 million slashed from Ohio State University – hurting medical research.
And Husted has no regrets:
- Voted for the “Big Ugly Law” and called it “the most pro-family bill of the 21st century” (yes, the one that cuts families off from health care).
- Defended the DOGE cuts even while admitting there would be “unintended consequences” – like Ohioans losing coverage and critical funding.
“Jon Husted refuses to even negotiate on extending ACA tax credits, knowing it means higher premiums for Ohio families,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado. “Instead, he cheers on cruel cuts that rip away health care, gut research, and make life harder for working people. He’s not a leader – he’s just another rubber stamp for the worst of the GOP agenda.”
