Columbus, Ohio - While Ohio’s working families wonder how they will make ends meet as egg prices increase, their access to healthcare is threatened, and their energy bills are still high from a corruption scandal, their senator is nowhere to be found.That’s why we’re telling Ohioans about five things Senator Husted did this week that hurt Ohioans.
1) Had a “great visit” with Elon Musk in the same week that Musk laid off public servants in Ohio, cut services for our state’s veterans, and more. While Ohio’s working families suffer, Husted & Musk would rather pad the pockets of billionaires and special interests.
2) Refused to answer questions about if he would vote to defund or significantly change the PACT Act- which provides healthcare for veterans exposed to toxic substances while serving our country.
3) Advocated for Medicaid work requirements that could result in more than 61,000 Ohioans losing access to healthcare. As his new best friend Elon Musk continues to be a clear and present danger to all medicaid recipients, he’s been silent.
4) Despite claiming otherwise, Husted continued to largely refuse to listen to or meet with constituents that weren’t special interest groups. What is he hiding from?
5) Of course, this wasn’t the week that Husted finally explained his role in the biggest corruption scandal in our state’s history. Maybe next week will be the week when the “Golden Boy of FirstEnergy” answers for his role in the scandal that skyrocketed energy bills for Ohioans, but we’re not holding our breath.
