Columbus, OH - Senator Jon Husted is rapidly approaching the end of his first month in the United States Senate. While he might be working out great for elite special interests and billionaires, Ohio’s working families aren’t feeling the love from their Senator. Here’s a recap of what he’s been up to in his first month on the job.

- Ignoring his constituents: Husted made headlines for just how difficult it was for Ohioans to get in contact with him. Even before a breakdown of Senate phone lines, constituents reported getting voicemails when trying to make their voice heard. We hope in month two Husted will at least pretend to listen to Ohioans.

- Abandoning “moderate” image to serve as rubber stamp for Trump’s extreme agenda: While Ohioans didn’t elect Jon Husted to serve as their senator, he should be their voice now that he’s in Washington. Instead, he promised blanket support for all of Trump’s nominees and has supported or stayed silent on unpopular executive actions that would uniquely harm Ohio.

- Started off time on Aging Committee taking food from seniors: Within days of his appointment to the Senate Committee on Aging, Donald Trump unveiled a spending freeze that could’ve threatened Meals on Wheels, which millions of homebound seniors across the country rely on for food. This would’ve been a great opportunity to use his role to ensure that no senior goes hungry. Instead, he just stayed silent.

- Still refusing to answer questions about his involvement in $60 million bribery scandal: Some things never change. Ohioans had to watch a politician at the heart of our state’s largest bribery scandal get a promotion. After leaving state government, he’s still refusing to answer questions about his involvement.
