“They blocked my ratepayer protection pledge, which would have forced data centers to pay their own way. Why? Because they just wanted to use it as a political issue rather than actually solving problems for people,”

“And think about this, you can't keep sending the same old Sherrod Brown back to Washington and expect different results. The place is broken. He's the one that broke it. He created the system. If you wanna see a better, brighter future, you can’t send the same ol' Sherrod Brown back.”

Husted argued that voters should not reelect Sherrod Brown to the U.S. Senate.

“We're the party of drill, baby drill. They're the part of closing down pipelines and refineries and power plants. We are going to create the energy supply to meet the demand and help lower prices. The Democrats, they don't believe in any of it. They believe in command and control of the government. They want to take more of your money out of your paycheck, send it to Washington. If you want your freedom and your fortune, then you need to vote for Republicans.”

“Look, we've done some good things. We have more jobs in Ohio than we've ever had in our history, the lowest unemployment rate. Now we just got to fight to get prices down. The Democrats block us at every turn trying to do that.”
