Serving his first term in the Ohio Senate, Husted continues to remain focused on growing the Ohio economy by enacting a fiscally responsible budget that lowers the tax burden on earning and investing in Ohio. During the 128th General Assembly, Husted hopes to strengthen education in Ohio by setting high standards and focusing educational investments on improving math, science and technology skills.
While in the Ohio House, Husted led the legislative effort to reform the tax code and led the passage of the most fiscally conservative budget in more than 40 years that included a 21 percent income tax cut - the largest income tax cut in Ohio history.
Additionally, he has championed efforts to improve education by expanding school choice options for Ohio children and families. Husted furthered these efforts in the 126th General Assembly with the unveiling of the Ohio Educational Choice Scholarship Program - a nationally recognized initiative that provides educational options to children and families.
An Ohio native, Husted attended the University of Dayton, where he earned
All-American Defensive Back honors as a member of the 1989 Division III National Championship football team. After receiving his Bachelor's and Master's degree at UD, Husted stayed in the Dayton area and worked for the Montgomery County Commissioners and later as Vice-President of Business and Economic Development at the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce. It was while serving in this position that he decided to run for political office.
Husted currently resides in Kettering, Ohio where he represents the 6th Senate district. With all of his responsibilities, however, Husted considers his most important roles as that of husband to his wife Tina and father to his children, Alex and Katie.
