Husted joins President, EPA administrator for announcement to cut costs for Americans at the White House
Position: Senator Husted supports reducing federal environmental regulations on refrigerants and appliances to lower costs for consumers and businesses, particularly in grocery retail and cold storage sectors.
“I’m committed to lowering everyday costs for working families—that’s why my first bill to become law was focused on just that.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today joined U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin for an announcement in the Oval Office about new actions that will reduce burdens and cut costs for consumers.
“I’m committed to lowering everyday costs for working families—that’s why my first bill signed into law focused on just that. This announcement aimed at lowering grocery prices is another step toward moving America in the right direction by cutting out-of-touch regulations that make life more expensive for Ohioans. I’ll keep working to restore consumer choice and eliminate overbearing and costly regulations for the American people,” said Husted.
The announcement includes a proposed rule that would change federal refrigerant regulations for air conditioners, grocery stores and cold storage equipment that are intended to lower costs for businesses and help reduce grocery prices for consumers.
Husted joined Columbiana Foods, Inc. Owner & COO Ronald Graff, his wife Jennifer Graff and his father Ron Graff Sr. for the announcement. The Graff family operates three independent Giant Eagle stores in the Youngstown area.
This builds on Husted’s work to make life easier and more affordable for Ohioans. Husted’s resolution was signed into law in May 2025, giving consumers more choices at lower costs by reversing a burdensome Biden administration energy requirement on household appliances.
Husted introduces bill to crack down on student aid fraud
Position: The release advocates for legislation that would strengthen Department of Education oversight to prevent student aid fraud by requiring identity verification and placing institutions with fraud flags under enhanced review.
“This bill would strengthen oversight capabilities at the Department of Education to ensure federal aid goes to real students while protecting hard-earned taxpayer dollars.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today joined Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) Chairman of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) in introducing the Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act. This bill would require strong safeguards to prevent student aid fraud.
Specifically, it would target “ghost students,” a stolen or fabricated identity that impersonates a student to enroll in classes to fraudulently obtain federal and state financial aid. These scammers, often operating in coordinated, international networks, collect grants and financial aid, then disappear without ever attending classes, leaving taxpayers holding the bill.
“Criminals are exploiting financial aid programs by impersonating students, which is wasting taxpayer dollars that could be going to the students who need it the most. This bill would strengthen oversight capabilities at the Department of Education to ensure federal aid goes to real students while protecting hard-earned taxpayer dollars,” said Husted.
“Every dollar spent on fraudulent student aid is a dollar stolen from a student in need. Let’s crack down on fraud in federal financial aid programs, ensuring the aid goes to the students in need,” said Dr. Cassidy.
“Our students spend years paying back debts from higher education institutions that are oftentimes recklessly spending their money without any sort of accountability. Bad actors steal student aid funds and never pay them back—meanwhile actual students pay the price when they aren’t allowed to take the courses needed to graduate. This bill creates much needed oversight that puts the student and taxpayer first and holds our universities accountable,” said Tuberville.
The Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act would create an oversight mechanism requiring the Department of Education to identify institutions that disburse federal aid to applicants flagged for potential fraud. Schools that are flagged would then be placed in a priority category for program review, audits and other oversight. Schools can be exempted if they verify student identities through an in-person or live video call, before aid is dispersed.
Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.) introduced the companion bill to the Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act in the House of Representatives. The bill passed the House Committee on Education and Workforce unanimously on March 17, 2026.
This bill builds on Husted’s work to fight fraud in our education systems. Husted and Tuberville launched a task force to tackle fraud in education and hold bad actors accountable.

Position: Senator Husted supports the CREATE AI Act, which would establish a National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource to provide researchers, educators, and workers with access to data, software, and tools for AI research and development while advancing safe AI development and U.S. competitiveness.
Establishing the NAIRR as a shared national research infrastructure will give students, researchers and workers access to resources to advance safe AI development, drive innovation and strengthen America’s leadership in emerging technologies.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) joined Sens. Todd Young (R-Ind.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.) Creating Resources for Every American to Experiment with Artificial Intelligence (CREATE AI) Act.
This bipartisan bill would establish the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR). The NAIRR is a shared national research infrastructure to connect American researchers and educators to data, software and tools necessary to advance AI research and development (R&D) and develop AI skills for the U.S. workforce.
The bill would also focus on improving the safety, reliability and trustworthiness of AI for Americans.
“As AI continues to transform the world on a global and economic scale, it’s critical to our innovation and national security that America leads—and wins—the race. Establishing the NAIRR as a shared national research infrastructure will give students, researchers and workers access to resources to advance safe AI development, drive innovation and strengthen America’s leadership in emerging technologies. I’m proud to support the CREATE AI Act to expand opportunity and prepare our next generation for success,” said Husted.
“The United States cannot cede leadership in AI development to China. For both our economic and national security, we must harness AI’s potential and mitigate its risks. By establishing the National AI Research Resource in statute, the CREATE AI Act will give incredible access and resources to America’s brightest, allowing for advancements in AI innovation, deployment, and safety for our country and ultimately the world,” said Young.
“The Create AI Act will help us develop and deploy AI responsibly, while also unleashing American innovation by expanding access to the tools needed to conduct cutting-edge research. But as we push this technology forward, we must also take seriously our responsibility to rein in its potential harms — putting the right safeguards in place to ensure AI is used safely, ethically, and in the public interest. By truly democratizing access to AI, we can prepare American workers for the future, maintain our nation’s competitive edge, and ensure these rapid advancements strengthen our economy and benefit communities in New Mexico and across the country,” said Heinrich.
“Artificial intelligence has the potential to impact a range of fields, from national security to health care. Our bipartisan legislation establishes the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR), which will provide tools and resources for universities and researchers across the country. This will help NAIRR to accomplish the objectives laid out in President Trump’s AI Action Plan. Universities in South Dakota are already conducting research and applying AI and other emerging technologies. This legislation will allow these universities to expand their leading role,” said Rounds.
“The United States has some of the brightest AI researchers in the world. They want to solve hard problems and improve people’s lives—but the steep financial costs of doing this research have pushed too many of them to the sidelines. The NAIRR gives universities, students, and researchers—in New Jersey and across the country—the tools they need to pursue new breakthroughs; it ensures that the future of AI research isn’t shaped only by a small number of large companies; and it helps us build a stronger, more diverse AI research community that’s focused on serving the public good,” said Booker.
The CREATE AI Act would establish NAIRR to do the following:
This bill builds on Husted’s efforts to leverage AI for America’s workforce. He joined the AI for Mainstreet Act, which would provide training, guidance and support to American small businesses looking to implement artificial intelligence (AI) into their businesses.
He is also leading the bipartisan AI Talent Act. This bill would create an AI and tech talent team within the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to provide guidance in hiring experts in AI to join federal agencies.

Husted leads effort to expand broadband access in rural Ohio
Position: Senator Husted supports expanding federal funding and programs to increase broadband access in rural Appalachian communities, including through satellite technology initiatives.
“It is hard to believe that in 2026, far too many Ohioans still lack access to reliable internet, impacting how people learn, work or complete training programs.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) joined Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) in introducing the Expanding Appalachia’s Broadband Access Act. This bill would increase access to broadband for rural communities across Appalachia.
Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio) introduced the companion bill to the Expanding Appalachia’s Broadband Access Act in the House of Representatives. The bill passed the House on March 24, 2026, by unanimous voice vote.
“It is hard to believe that in 2026, far too many Ohioans still lack access to reliable internet, impacting how people learn, work or complete training programs. As Lt.Governor, I worked to form and lead the BroadbandOhio Office, which has made significant progress in bringing more people online. Working alongside our state and local partners, as well as the private sector, will help get the job done. I applaudRep. Taylor’s leadership on this issue in the House, and I look forward to getting this done for Ohio in the Senate,” said Husted.
“Access to broadband internet is critical for accessing health care, paying your bills,and staying connected to friends, family, and the world. I am so proud to be partnering with Senator Husted to introduce the Expanding Appalachia’s BroadbandAccess Act to ensure Marylanders in the most rural parts of our state can get and stay connected,” said Alsobrooks.
“Southern Ohio has long been a broadband desert, with our rural communities being left behind in an ever-changing and advancing economy. This bill will create an opportunity to demonstrate that embracing innovative technologies like satellite broadband could lead to massive opportunities for growth in southern Ohio. The Appalachian Regional Commission currently provides vital funding and services to Ohioans, and the inclusion of expanded broadband technologies in their programs would be life changing. It is past time to connect our communities to the modern economy after being held back for decades,” said Taylor.
More than 300,000 households in Ohio—representing nearly 1 million Ohioans—still lack access to broadband service. Limited connectivity makes it harder for students to complete online homework and for adults to access job opportunities, training programs and telehealth services.
This bill would direct a study to be conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office on the capabilities of satellites to be used by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)for economic development. This study will measure the capabilities of satellites for ruralbusiness services and assess whether or not it can meet business’ needs.
If this study shows that satellites are an effective method of increasing rural broadband, this bill would allow rural businesses and communities to obtain broadband funding through ARC.

Position: Senator Husted supports tax cuts and reduced regulatory burdens for small businesses to enable job creation and economic growth.
“Conversations with small business owners in Upper Sandusky made clear that when small businesses succeed, Ohio succeeds.”
UPPER SANDUSKY, OH – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) hosted a roundtable with Ohio small business owners and entrepreneurs in Upper Sandusky, highlighting National Small Business Week and discussing his efforts in the Senate to support Ohio’s job creators.
“Ohio’s 1.1 million small businesses employ more than 2.2 million people and are the backbone of our economy. Conversations with small business owners in Upper Sandusky made clear that when small businesses succeed, Ohio succeeds. I’ll continue fighting in the Senate to cut taxes and give our small businesses the freedom to grow, hire and compete,” said Husted.
Husted supports key legislation to deliver relief and expand opportunities for small businesses across Ohio.
In July, Husted supported the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which includes major provisions to support small businesses and their workforce:
Husted is also working on legislation in the Senate to expand access to capital, reduce regulatory burdens and help small businesses compete in a modern economy:
Husted joins bill to help Americans plan for retirement
Position: Senator Husted supports the Claiming Age Clarity Act, which would modernize Social Security Administration language to help Americans better understand retirement benefit claiming decisions and timing.
“This bill would fix outdated language, help clear up confusion for older Ohioans and ensure they have what they need to plan effectively.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) joined Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Chris Coons’ (D-Del.) Claiming Age Clarity Act. This bipartisan bill would modernize outdated language used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to help people better understand the timing of their decisions to claim retirement benefits.
One of the key financial decisions facing Americans is when to claim Social Security retirement benefits. Social Security benefits are available to Americans who are as young as age 62, but those who choose to claim their benefits later receive higher monthly payments, with the maximum benefits available to those who claim at age 70 or older.
“Americans have worked their entire lives to earn their Social Security benefits. They should have all the necessary information to make the best decisions for their futures. This bill would fix outdated language, help clear up confusion for older Ohioans and ensure they have what they need to plan effectively,” said Husted.
“Americans have earned their benefits. When planning for retirement, let’s make sure they have the best information available and receive what they deserve,” said Cassidy.
The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) supports the bill.
“AARP, which advocates for the more than 100 million Americans aged 50 and over, is pleased to endorse S.1504, the Claiming Age Clarity Act, which would improve the terminology the Social Security Administration uses in relation to retirement benefit claiming ages. Your bipartisan bill will provide American workers with better and more understandable information about the impact claiming age has on their earned benefits, helping them make more informed choices about when to start collecting Social Security,” said Bill Sweeney, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, AARP.
The Claiming Age Clarity Act would make the following changes to terminology used by the SSA to provide greater clarity to seniors:

Husted backs Senate framework to fund law enforcement, keep border secure
Position: Senator Husted supports a Senate budget framework to fund ICE, Border Patrol, and the Department of Homeland Security, and opposes what he characterizes as open-border policies that he argues increase crime and allow criminal illegal immigrants to harm Americans.
“We cannot go back to the Biden administration’s dangerous policies of open borders and high crime. This framework is a step toward protecting our communities, keeping the border secure and getting a deal to fully fund DHS.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) released the following statement after voting to advance a budget framework, paving the way for legislation to fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol and help restore full funding to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“The contrast couldn’t be clearer: Republicans are backing law enforcement and voting to keep Americans safe, all while working to end Democrats’ DHS shutdown. Democrats are voting to defund the police and supporting policies that allow criminal illegal immigrants to harm—and in some instances, kill—innocent Americans. We cannot go back to the Biden administration’s dangerous policies of open borders and high crime. This framework is a step toward protecting our communities, keeping the border secure and getting a deal to fully fund DHS,” said Husted.
DHS has faced a partial funding lapse since Feb. 14, 2026. The House of Representatives has passed all 12 appropriations bills needed to fund the government through FY26 on a bipartisan basis. Senate Democrats have blocked full funding for DHS, resulting in the longest shutdown in U.S. history.
Husted has voted seven times to reopen DHS.
This Senate vote advances the budget reconciliation process, which would allow Republicans to pass targeted border security funding for ICE and Border Patrol with a simple majority vote in the Senate.
