Jon Husted meeting with voters at the Voices of America Freedom Rally hosted by the Cincinnati Tea Party

Reducing Spending

Under the leadership of Jon Husted, Ohio enacted the most fiscally conservative budget in 40 years.

Husted worked in concert with Citizens for Tax Reform and members of the Ohio General Assembly to enact a state appropriation limitation (SAL). By passing the SAL, Husted guaranteed state appropriations will never again exceed inflation.

Ensuring Honest and Fair Elections

Honest and fair elections are the hallmark of a vibrant democracy. If we lose trust in the process for choosing our government, we lose trust in how we govern. Jon Husted is committed to preventing outside groups such as ACORN from illegally influencing our elections. He led the effort to require proper identification at polling places to ensure that only legal residents cast ballots.

Husted remains committed to securing the integrity of Ohio’s elections and preserving honest and fair elections that all Ohioans and Americans can trust.

Opposing the Train to Bankruptcy

When Jon Husted learned the proposed high-speed rail plan would run at an average speed of 39 miles per hour and require hundreds of millions of subsidies from Ohio taxpayers, he expressed alarm, and demanded answers about the construction and operation of rail service in Ohio. Further, Husted was one of only two Senate Republicans to vote against the bill that authorized operation of the 3C rail.
