Ohio Governor Mike DeWine Appoints Jon Husted to U.S. Senate Until 2026, Special Election Set
Jan 17, 2025, 05:16 PM
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has appointed Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance, who resigned on January 10. Husted, a 57-year-old Republican, will serve until December 15, 2026. DeWine's choice ends months of speculation among Ohio Republicans and potentially avoids a contentious GOP primary for the seat. Husted, who has served as Ohio House speaker and Ohio secretary of state, was selected for his deep knowledge of the state and his economic experience. DeWine praised Husted as a 'workhorse' and a trusted partner, emphasizing his skills and dedication to Ohio. Husted will need to run in a special election in November 2026 to complete the remainder of Vance's term.
