Gov. Mike DeWine announced that Ohio's Lt. Gov. Jon Husted will be appointed as the state's next U.S. Senator, noting Husted's integral role in his decisions as governor.
In addressing the appointment, DeWine stated, '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.' He emphasized that their differing opinions did not compromise their collaborative decision-making process.
The decision to appoint Husted was influenced by the narrow margin for Republicans in the U.S. House, prompting DeWine to rule out many GOP congressmen.
Husted, who previously filed paperwork to run for governor in 2026, is now set to run in a special election for the Senate seat next year.
