Husted Appointed Ohio’s New U.S. Senator

Article Presented By Hometown-Motors, Inc.

(Columbus) – Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has been appointed Ohio’s next United State Senator by Governor Mike DeWine, replacing J.D. Vance, who resigned January 10th to become U.S. Vice President.

Governor DeWine held a press conference Friday, where he introduced his Lt. Governor as the new U.S. Senator. “I interviewed a large number of people. We heard from a large number of people. There were many people who I considered very qualified to serve in the United States Senate to represent the state of Ohio.”

“Every major decision I have made the last six years as governor of the state of Ohio, Jon Husted has played a part in that decision,” according to the Governor. “It should not be a shock that Jon and I might disagree on something. But even in the cases where he saw things differently, my decision was informed, was helped by his input.”

As lieutenant governor, Husted has been in the lead role in the state’s workforce development and technology.

Husted will have to run for the office of U.S. Senate again in a 2026 special election. The victor in that special election will have to run again in 2028 to serve in that seat for the full six-year term.
