PRESS RELEASE – The below statement can be attributed to Ohio Chamber President & CEO Steve Stivers following Gov. DeWine’s announcement of Lt. Gov. Jon Husted as Vice President-elect JD Vance’s U.S. Senate replacement.
“The Ohio Chamber applauds Gov. DeWine’s appointment of Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat. Lt. Gov. Husted has always been committed to building a growing and prosperous state economy, and he has consistently taken action to make Ohio a great place to live, work and do business.
Taxes that harm small businesses could double in the near future, the federal budget must be balanced and permitting reform is necessary to strengthen our state’s business climate.
Lt. Gov. Husted is the right choice to get these things done and to advocate for Ohio at the Congressional level, and we look forward to working with him in his new role.”
