Voter guide

The candidates, side by side

Goals come from each campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from government or official office records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so. Goals are summarized from each campaign's own platform page and stay attributed to the campaign. The record lines are official votes, sponsorships, and filings with the government source attached. Money is shown as filed, by the type the FEC records for the contributing committee, and is not evidence of why any position was taken. Money rows are itemized receipts from political committees; transfers from joint fundraising committees and the conduit entries for earmarked individual contributions sit on their own rows; other memo entries, reimbursements, and receipts from organizations that are not political committees are excluded; each candidate's note gives the filings it covers, and some notes also compare the rows with the campaign's own FEC summary.

What they say they want to do

Greg Levy

Background

  • Holds no public office. His campaign describes him as a community organizer, singer, veteran, mover, husband and father, raised in Akron.
  • His campaign says he founded the Paul Robeson Revolutionary Choir, which tours church and community venues.
  • Runs on the platform of the Party for Socialism and Liberation; Cuyahoga County's candidate list gives his ballot designation as nonpartisan, and the FEC lists him as an independent.

What they say they want to do

  • Public ownership of the 100 largest corporations, run by their workers.
  • A universal single-payer health system, free at the point of use.
  • A national rent cap at 20 per cent of income, a ban on evictions and a price freeze on essential goods.
  • Repeal of the 2025 tax law's cuts, which the platform calls tax cuts for the rich.
  • A 90 per cent cut in the Pentagon budget.

What the official record shows

His campaign describes no public office he has held, and this desk found no official record of votes, bills or decisions to list. His one claim about his own past, military service, has no public record this desk could check.

Campaign money from other committees, by type

His principal committee's filings for the 2025-2026 cycle through June 30, 2026 itemize no receipts on line 11B (party committees), line 11C (other political committees) or line 12 (transfers from authorized committees), and its own summary totals for those lines are zero. Its money came from individuals, which this table does not count.

William B. Redpath

Background

  • Holds no public office. The Libertarian Party's nominee; his campaign says he grew up in Findlay and had a 38-year career in business valuation.
  • His campaign says he holds an active certified public accountant licence in Ohio and Illinois.
  • His campaign describes him as a nine-time Libertarian candidate and a member of the party's national committee for 24 years, its chair from 2006 to 2010.

What they say they want to do

  • An end to all tariffs, regardless of other countries' policies.
  • A commission with powers like the military base-closing commission to draw up Social Security reforms for a single up-or-down vote in Congress.
  • Replacing the tax code with a 20 per cent flat tax on individual income and a 20 per cent tax on distributed profits.
  • Eliminating the Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, and ending corporate welfare and farm subsidies.
  • Ranked-choice voting, multi-member House districts and the National Popular Vote compact.

What the official record shows

His campaign describes no public office he has held, and this desk found no official record of votes, bills or decisions to list. His claims about his past concern candidacies, party office and professional licences. The FEC lists six federal Libertarian candidacies under five candidate records: Virginia Senate in 2008, Virginia's 10th District in 2010 and 2014, Illinois's 6th District in 2020, filed as "Bill Redpath" and not matched to him beyond the name, Illinois Senate in 2022 and this race; his campaign says nine. State candidacies and his accountancy licences are in state records this desk did not read; the next tests are the Ohio Accountancy Board and Illinois IDFPR licence lookups.

Issue comparison

What each campaign says

Each campaign's own positions, not promises The Stated Record has verified or endorsed.

Electricity bills and data centers

Brown's campaign wants data centers to pay full utility costs and a cap on rate hikes. Husted's office says his Ratepayer Protection Act would make data centers, not families, pay for power built for them. Levy's campaign says data centers should not drive up Ohio bills; Redpath's lists no position on the pages checked. The House passed its own bill by that name; Husted asked the Senate to pass it, and an objection blocked it.

What each campaign says

Sherrod Brown

His campaign says data centers should pay the full cost of their utilities so household bills do not go up, and that he would cap how much utility companies can raise rates.

Jon Husted

His office says his Ratepayer Protection Act would make large electricity users such as data centers, not families or small businesses, pay for the generation and transmission built to serve them.

Greg Levy

His platform says Ohioans should not have to worry about electricity bills driven up by data centers they did not ask for, and that the race for AI threatens to strain the state's grid.

William B. Redpath

No position on electricity prices or data centers was found on his campaign's About, What I Stand For or Media pages.

Health insurance and drug costs

Brown's campaign would stop insurers denying care doctors call needed and drug makers charging Americans more than other countries. Husted's office backs his ACA tax credit and over-the-counter drug bills; Levy's campaign wants single-payer care, and Redpath's wants Medicare to pay enrollees in cash. Brown voted for the 2022 law capping Medicare insulin costs. Husted's tax credit bill was blocked and he voted against debating another; his drug bill became law inside a funding act.

What each campaign says

Sherrod Brown

His campaign says insurers should be banned from denying care a patient's doctor says is needed and fined for denying claims, and that drug companies should not be allowed to charge Americans more than people in other countries.

Jon Husted

His office says his Accountability for Better Care Act would extend the enhanced ACA premium tax credits for two years with changes to reduce fraud and lower premiums, and promotes his over-the-counter drug bill as making medicines more affordable.

Greg Levy

His platform calls for a universal single-payer health system, free at the point of use.

William B. Redpath

His campaign says Medicare should pay enrollees in cash rather than paying providers, with more for those with lower lifetime incomes and worse health, and that Medicaid should pass to the states as federal subsidies phase out over ten years.

Congressional stock trading, lobbying and money in politics

Brown's campaign would bar members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks, and members from lobbying after office. Husted's office releases and campaign site list no position; he cosponsored the Stop Insider Trading Act. Levy's campaign would outlaw corporate lobbying and political donations; Redpath's lists no position on the pages checked. Brown cosponsored trading bans that did not pass and voted for the 2012 STOCK Act, which requires trade reports, not a ban.

What each campaign says

Sherrod Brown

His campaign says members of Congress and their spouses should be banned from trading stocks, and that members should not be able to become lobbyists after leaving office.

Jon Husted

No statement on congressional stock trading or lobbying was found in the 253 press releases and 13 op-eds his Senate office published from February 2025 to September 2026, or on his campaign site. On the record, he is an original cosponsor of S. 4134, the Stop Insider Trading Act, introduced in March 2026; that is a cosponsorship, not a statement.

Greg Levy

His platform calls for outlawing corporate lobbying and political donations, and for setting the salary of members of Congress at the minimum wage.

William B. Redpath

No position on congressional stock trading or lobbying was found on his campaign's About, What I Stand For or Media pages; his electoral-reform section is about how votes are counted.

Social Security and pensions

Brown's campaign credits him with full Social Security for public workers and pensions for over 100,000 Ohioans. Husted's office says his Susan Muffley Act would restore Delphi salaried retirees' pensions. Levy's campaign lists no position on the pages checked; Redpath's warns of benefit cuts by 2032 and wants a reform commission. Brown sponsored the Social Security Fairness Act, now law, and voted for the 2021 pension funding law; the 100,000 figure is not settled.

What each campaign says

Sherrod Brown

His campaign credits him with the law restoring full Social Security payments to public workers and with securing the retirements of more than 100,000 Ohioans whose pensions were at risk.

Jon Husted

His office says his Susan Muffley Act would restore the pensions of more than 21,000 Delphi salaried retirees, about 5,180 of them in Ohio.

Greg Levy

No position on Social Security or pensions was found on his campaign's About, Platform or About the PSL pages.

William B. Redpath

His campaign warns that Social Security payments will be cut by about 24 per cent by late 2032 without action, and proposes a commission to draw up reforms for a single up-or-down vote in Congress.

Taxes and the 2025 tax law

Brown's campaign says Washington gives corporations and billionaires tax breaks at working Ohioans' expense; he left the Senate before the 2025 tax law's vote. Husted's office backs the law, citing its tip, overtime, child and adoption tax breaks. Levy's campaign would repeal the law's cuts; Redpath's would replace the tax code with a 20 per cent flat tax. Husted voted for the law; its tip and overtime breaks are capped deductions that end after 2028.

What each campaign says

Sherrod Brown

His campaign says Washington is giving massive tax breaks to corporations and billionaires at the expense of working Ohioans, and gives that as a reason he is running. He left the Senate before the 2025 tax law was voted on.

Jon Husted

His office says the 2025 tax law helps people keep more of what they earn, lists its tips, overtime, child tax credit and adoption credit provisions, and says he is proud to have supported it.

Greg Levy

His platform calls for repealing the 2025 tax law's cuts, which it calls tax cuts for the rich.

William B. Redpath

His campaign would scrap the Internal Revenue Code for a 20 per cent flat tax on individual income with a family allowance, a 20 per cent tax on distributed profits, and no taxes at death.

Trade and tariffs

Brown's campaign says he has always opposed unfair trade deals that hurt Ohio workers. Husted joined four senators in a letter urging trade officials to enforce the U.S.-Mexico-Canada deal and keep its stability for farmers. Levy's campaign lists no position on the pages checked; Redpath's would end all tariffs, whatever other countries do. Of 19 trade votes checked, Brown voted against 17, including NAFTA, and for NAFTA's replacement and trade relations with Russia and Moldova.

What each campaign says

Sherrod Brown

His campaign says he saw bad trade agreements ship Ohio jobs overseas and has always opposed unfair trade deals that hurt Ohio workers.

Jon Husted

He joined four senators in a letter urging the U.S. Trade Representative to use the review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to reinforce the stability it gives farmers, and to enforce its terms and address unfair practices.

Greg Levy

No position on trade agreements or tariffs was found on his campaign's About, Platform or About the PSL pages.

William B. Redpath

His campaign supports unilateral free trade: ending all tariffs on imported goods and services, whatever other countries do.

Elections and voting

Brown's campaign lists no position on the pages checked; he cosponsored the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis voting rights bill. Husted's office backs photo ID to vote, and he filed a bill requiring it nationwide. Levy's campaign would outlaw gerrymandering and voter purges; Redpath's backs ranked-choice voting and the National Popular Vote compact. A Senate vote to start debate on Husted's bill got 52 votes to 46, short of the 60 needed.

What each campaign says

Sherrod Brown

No position on voting rules or election administration was found on his campaign's home page, its Our Fight issues page, or its posts on stock trading, data centers and fundraising. On the record, he cosponsored the Freedom to Vote Act, S. 2747, and was an original cosponsor of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, S. 4, both in the 117th Congress; that is a cosponsorship, not a statement.

Jon Husted

His office says voters should have to show photo identification at the polls, and he introduced a bill to require it nationwide.

Greg Levy

His platform calls for outlawing gerrymandering and voter purges, and for moving to abolish the Senate and the Supreme Court and transfer their powers to more accountable bodies.

William B. Redpath

His campaign supports ranked-choice voting for single-winner elections, multi-member House districts under the Fair Representation Act, and the National Popular Vote compact.

Words and record

Where statements meet official action

Each card sets one thing a candidate says beside their own official record, with one label from a fixed list and its limit. No card says why someone did something.

How the cards work

The number of cards varies with what each candidate's official record supports, and every card carries the same required parts: what they say, what the official record shows, one label from the fixed list, and its limit. Each card is labeled narrowly, by rule. A single vote, sponsorship, or filing can match one claim without proving a candidate's whole record.

What they say

His campaign says that because of him, more than two million former teachers, bus drivers, police officers, firefighters and other workers now receive their full Social Security payments.

“because of Sherrod Brown, over 2 million former teachers, bus drivers, police officers, firefighters, and other workers are now receiving their full Social Security payments”

What the record shows ·

He introduced the Social Security Fairness Act in five Congresses running: S. 1651 in 2015, S. 915 in 2017, S. 521 in 2019, S. 1302 in 2021 and S. 597 in 2023. The version enacted was the House bill of the same name, H.R. 82, sponsored by Representative Garret Graves; its operative sections, repealing the two provisions and setting the date the repeal applies from, are word for word those of his S. 597. In the Senate sitting of December 20, 2024, which ran into December 21, he voted Yea on the motion to waive the budget point of order raised against it, which carried 66 to 30 (Roll Call 337), and Yea on passage, which carried 76 to 20 (Roll Call 338). It became Public Law 118-273 on January 5, 2025, repealing the Government Pension Offset and the Windfall Elimination Provision. The Social Security Administration said on July 10, 2025 that when the law passed, about 2.8 million current beneficiaries had benefits reduced by the two provisions.

Limit: The record shows him as the Senate sponsor of this measure across five Congresses and voting for it at both Senate votes that carried it. The law was enacted under the House bill's number with his bill's operative text; this desk treats a bill enacted under its companion's number as enacted, for every candidate. "Because of Sherrod Brown" is a claim about cause, which no roll call settles on its own: the House bill had its own sponsor, and 76 senators voted for it. SSA's count of about 2.8 million backs "over 2 million", though it counts people whose benefits were cut, not people now paid in full. Its figure of over 3.1 million counts payments, not people.

“Brown successfully fought to cap the cost of insulin and reduce the price of other prescription drugs for Ohio seniors”

What the record shows ·

He voted Yea on Senate passage of H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act, in the sitting of August 6, 2022, which ran into August 7; the Senate divided 50 to 50 and the Vice President's vote carried it (Roll Call 325). It became Public Law 117-169. Section 11406 sets cost-sharing for insulin under Medicare Part D, and section 11001 begins Medicare negotiation of prices for certain high-priced drugs. In the same sitting he voted Yea to keep a wider $35 insulin cap, which Senator Murray said would help "not just seniors but workers and students"; it got 57 votes, short of the 60 needed, and the language was struck (Roll Call 314). In 2022 he also cosponsored Senator Raphael Warnock's Affordable Insulin Now Act, S. 3700, which would have limited what patients pay for insulin in private health plans as well as Medicare; it did not pass.

Limit: The cap that became law applies to Medicare, which is what "for Ohio seniors" says; the wider cap he also voted for failed. The bill passed on an evenly divided vote, so each of the fifty votes for it was needed. What a senator did beyond voting, which "fought" implies, is not something a roll call records.

What they say

His campaign says that when veterans exposed to toxic burn pits were being turned away by the VA, he worked with Republicans to get them the care they deserved.

“Sherrod worked with Republicans to get them the care they deserved.”

What the record shows ·

In April 2021 he introduced S. 1188, the SFC Heath Robinson Burn Pit Transparency Act, with Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, a Republican, as its original cosponsor; he had first filed it with Portman in June 2020, as S. 3885. It did not pass on its own. Its registry provisions, that a VA medical professional must tell a veteran about the burn pit registry when the veteran seeks treatment related to exposure, and that registry numbers be published by state and congressional district, appear almost word for word in section 808(b) of Public Law 117-168, the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022. In February 2022 he was one of the original cosponsors, nine of them Republicans, of Senator Jon Tester's Health Care for Burn Pit Veterans Act, S. 3541, which passed the Senate by voice vote on February 16, 2022. Its sections extending VA health-care eligibility for combat veterans from five to ten years after discharge, and adding a toxic-exposure screening to VA health care, are in the same law almost word for word, as sections 111 and 603. In 2019 he was an original cosponsor, with Republicans including Dan Sullivan and Jerry Moran, of the Burn Pits Accountability Act, S. 191, whose requirement that military health assessments ask about burn pit exposure became section 704 of the defense authorization act for fiscal year 2020. He voted Yea on Senate passage of H.R. 3967 on June 16, 2022 (Roll Call 230, 84 to 14) and Yea on the final Senate vote on S. 3373 on August 2, 2022 (Roll Call 280, 86 to 11). It was signed on August 10, 2022.

Limit: The record shows him on three bipartisan burn pit bills whose text became law, one his own, and voting for the law that extended care. The care provisions came from a bill led by another senator that he cosponsored with Republicans; a cosponsorship shows he signed on, not what else he did. "Get them the care they deserved" describes the law as a whole, which passed the Senate 86 to 11.

“Sherrod led the charge to make sure over 100,000 Ohioans got the retirement they were owed.”

What the record shows ·

He introduced the Butch Lewis Act three times: S. 2147 in 2017, S. 2254 in 2019 and S. 547, the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act, on March 2, 2021. None passed under its own number. In 2018 he co-chaired, with Senator Orrin Hatch, Congress's joint select committee on the solvency of multiemployer pension plans. He voted Yea on Senate passage of H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act, in the sitting of March 5, 2021, which ran into March 6 (Roll Call 110, 50 to 49); it became Public Law 117-2 on March 11, 2021. Three sections of S. 547 are in that law's pension provisions almost word for word and under the same headings: a temporary delay of critical and declining status (section 9701), longer funding improvement and rehabilitation periods (section 9702) and adjusted funding standard account rules (section 9703). His bill's central relief paid for partitions of troubled plans from a new eighth fund under section 4005 of ERISA; section 9704 sets up that eighth fund in the same words but pays special financial assistance to plans directly, rather than through partitions. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's list of approved plans, updated September 18, 2026, has 17 plans located in Ohio, with 26,348 participants between them.

Limit: Three Congresses of sponsorship, a vote for the law that funded troubled pension plans, and his own bill's text in that law go the way the claim does; the law passed 50 to 49. What holds the label to the claim's direction is the number, over 100,000 Ohioans. PBGC's list counts where plans are based, not where members live, so it leaves out Ohioans in plans based elsewhere, such as Central States in Chicago. It neither proves nor disproves the number.

“he’s always opposed unfair trade deals that hurt Ohio workers”

On the nineteen votes read here, on trade agreements, fast-track negotiating authority and permanent normal trade relations, he voted against seventeen and for two. Trade agreements, in the House: No on the implementing bills for NAFTA on November 17, 1993 (Roll Call 575, passed 234 to 200), the Uruguay Round in 1994, Chile and Singapore in 2003, Australia and Morocco in 2004, the Central America agreement on July 28, 2005 (Roll Call 443, passed 217 to 215), Bahrain in 2005 and Oman in 2006. In the Senate: Nay on Peru in 2007 and on Korea, Panama and Colombia in 2011, and Yea on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act, which replaced NAFTA, on January 16, 2020 (Roll Call 14, 89 to 10). Fast-track authority: No on the Trade Act of 2002, which carried it, and Nay on Trade Promotion Authority on June 24, 2015 (Senate Roll Call 219, agreed to 60 to 38). Permanent normal trade relations: No for China on May 24, 2000 (House Roll Call 228, passed 237 to 197) and for Vietnam in 2006 (House Roll Call 519, a motion to pass it that failed), and Yea for Russia and Moldova in 2012 (Senate Roll Call 223, 92 to 4).

Limit: "Unfair" is the campaign's word, and no roll call can say which agreements were unfair. His two votes for were the agreement that replaced the NAFTA he had voted against, and normal trade relations for Russia and Moldova. These nineteen are the passage votes this desk read in those three groups, not every trade vote of a thirty-two-year congressional career; the 2001 agreement with Jordan passed both chambers by voice vote, so it has no recorded vote. Vietnam's trade status became law later that year inside a tax bill, H.R. 6111. He voted for that bill before the trade text was added, then against the rule that added it and against the trade bill itself (House Roll Calls 533, 536 and 539).

What the record shows ·

In the Senate he was an original cosponsor of the ETHICS Act, S. 1171, in 2023, which would have barred members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from trading or owning stocks; it was placed on the Senate calendar and never voted on. He cosponsored Senator Jeff Merkley's Ban Conflicted Trading Act in three Congresses: S. 3718 in 2018, S. 1393 in 2019 and S. 564 in 2021. None passed. Earlier he cosponsored the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, S. 1903, in 2011, and on February 2, 2012 voted Yea when the Senate passed the STOCK Act, S. 2038, 96 to 3 (Roll Call 14); it became Public Law 112-105 on April 4, 2012. That law says members of Congress are not exempt from the insider-trading laws and requires them to report their trades; it does not ban trading.

Limit: Cosponsoring is not enacting, and none of the bills that would ban trading passed. The one law he voted for, the STOCK Act, is about insider trading and disclosure, which goes the way of his position without being the ban he now calls for. These answer the stock-trading half of the position; this desk did not search his record on the lobbying ban.

His office says his first bill to become law repealed regulations, and describes it as his resolution reversing a Biden-era energy requirement on household appliances.

“My first bill to become law repeals regulations to make everyday life easier and more affordable for Americans.”

What the record shows ·

The law is the House resolution, H.J. Res. 42, which Representative Andrew Clyde filed on February 12, 2025 to overturn the Department of Energy's rule on certification, labelling and enforcement for appliance standards. The House passed it on March 5 (Roll Call 59, 222 to 203). Husted filed the Senate version, S.J. Res. 50, on April 28, the day before the Senate voted 52 to 46 to take up the House resolution, with his Yea (Roll Call 222). On April 30 he spoke for it on the Senate floor: "I am proud to stand here and lead this commonsense legislation." Senator Thune said that day the effort was "led here in the Senate by Senator Husted." The Senate passed it that day with his Yea, 52 to 46 (Roll Call 223), and it became Public Law 119-8 on May 9, 2025. His own resolution went no further.

Limit: The law is Representative Clyde's resolution, filed first; Husted filed his 54 days after the House passed it. The two read the same because the law sets the wording of every resolution of this kind, so the match does not show who wrote it. The record does show him leading it in the Senate, and his office's release gives both chambers' vote dates.

Limit: It became law as one section of a funding act, not as a bill of its own, and some wording changed on the way. The introduced bill carries no short title; SMART OTC Act is his office's name for it. Whether the change makes medicines more affordable is a prediction the record does not test.

It became Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025; the law has no short title. Section 70104 raises the child tax credit to $2,200. Section 70402 makes up to $5,000 of the adoption credit refundable. Sections 70201 and 70202 create deductions for qualified tips, capped at $25,000, and for qualified overtime, capped at $12,500 or $25,000 on a joint return; both shrink above $150,000 of modified adjusted gross income ($300,000 on a joint return) and end after 2028.

Limit: He voted for the law and it contains each provision his office lists. "No tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime" are his office's shorthand for capped deductions that end after 2028, which is not the same as removing the tax.

Section 71401 of Public Law 119-21 created the Rural Health Transformation Program and appropriated $10,000,000,000 a year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for allotments to states. He voted Yea on the law's Senate passage (Roll Call 372). On July 2, 2025, the chief executives of four rural Ohio health systems wrote to him and Senator Bernie Moreno thanking them for "tireless work behind the scenes" to direct funding to Ohio's rural hospitals; the letter does not name the fund. After the law was enacted, his office says, he led a letter from Ohio's congressional delegation on December 19, 2025 supporting the state's application to the fund.

Limit: He voted for the law that created the fund, which is one section of it. The hospital chiefs' letter thanks him for work on rural hospital funding but does not name the fund.

Limit: The record bears out what his office describes: his bill, his request and the objection.

What the record shows ·

He introduced S. 5028, the Ratepayer Protection Act, on July 16, 2026; it was referred to the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. It would add a standard to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act under which rates for data-center customers with a peak demand of 100 megawatts or more recover the full, incremental cost of the generation, transmission and distribution upgrades needed to serve them, a standard state regulators must consider and decide whether to adopt. The bill the House passed on September 16 was the House companion, H.R. 9340, sponsored by Representative Gabe Evans, on a motion to suspend the rules and pass it as amended, 417 to 3 (Roll Call 312). Its 100-megawatt threshold and its full-cost standard appear word for word in the House bill as passed, though the two texts are not identical.

Neither bill has passed the Senate.

Limit: The House passed its own bill of the same name, not his. His office's July release says Representatives Evans and Castor introduced the House companion, so his office has not hidden the difference, but "the Ratepayer Protection Act passed the House" describes a different bill number with overlapping, not identical, text. When he sought Senate passage, the bill he asked the Senate to pass was the House one, so his office's use of the name follows how he treats the House bill himself.

What they say

His office says the Senate voted on his bill to require voters to show photo ID at the polls, and that it fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance, 52 to 46.

“The Senate today voted on Sen. Jon Husted’s (R-Ohio) bill to require voters to show photo ID at the polls.”

What the record shows ·

He introduced S. 5271 on August 5, 2026, to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require voters to provide photo identification. In the Senate sitting of August 7, 2026, which ran into August 8, he voted Yea on cloture on the motion to proceed to it; cloture was not invoked, 52 to 46 (Roll Call 231), so the bill was not debated.

Limit: The vote the Senate held was on whether to begin debate, and it needed 60 votes. His office describes it that way.

Matches stated record claim

What they say

His Senate biography says that as Speaker of the Ohio House he expanded educational freedom for Ohio children through the creation of the EdChoice Scholarship.

What the record shows ·

EdChoice was created in the 2005 state budget, which he cosponsored and voted for in his first year as Speaker; his role in adding it is not recorded.

What they say

His Senate biography says that as Speaker of the Ohio House he expanded educational freedom for Ohio children through the creation of the EdChoice Scholarship.

“As Speaker, Husted expanded educational freedom for Ohio children through the creation of the EdChoice Scholarship.”

What the record shows ·

The Ohio House lists him as Speaker from 2005 to 2009. Amended Substitute House Bill 66 of the 126th General Assembly, the state budget effective June 30, 2005, lists him among its House cosponsors, and its enacted text adds section 3310.02 of the Revised Code: "The educational choice scholarship pilot program is hereby established." The section is still in force. As Speaker he voted Yea when the House agreed to the conference report on the bill on June 21, 2005, 53 to 46 (House Journal, page 1382).

Limit: The record shows the program created by a budget bill he cosponsored and voted for in his first year as Speaker. A state budget carries hundreds of provisions, so his cosponsorship and vote show support for the whole bill; what he did to put EdChoice into it is not recorded. The legislature's bill page records no votes online; the vote is in the House Journal. The same biography's claims that this budget was the most conservative in four decades and carried the largest income tax cut in Ohio's history are comparisons this desk did not test.

What they say

His campaign says he raised $7.7 million across all affiliated committees in the second quarter of 2026, bringing his cash on hand to more than $11 million.

“Jon Husted raised a campaign-record $7.7 million across all affiliated committees during the second quarter, more than doubling his first-quarter total and bringing his cash on hand to more than $11 million.”

What the record shows ·

His principal campaign committee, Husted for Senate, reported receipts of $260,995.17 for April 1 to 15 and $3,831,806.20 for April 16 to June 30, a total of $4,092,801.37, and cash on hand of $9,418,818.45 on June 30. Two joint fundraising committees raised money for him in the quarter. Husted Victory reported $3,219,278.53 in receipts. Team Husted reported $2,153,164.49 and passed $1,195,236.60 of it to his campaign, $513,005.51 to Ohio Flyer PAC and $151,205.93 to the NRSC. Team Husted also sent $4,680.07 to his leadership PAC. Husted Victory sent $35 to his campaign and $50 to that PAC. His leadership PAC, Jobs Opportunity Now PAC, reported $135,819.59. Counting each internal transfer once across those four committees, and leaving out what Team Husted passed to other groups, gives $7,736,850.87. Cash on hand across the six committees tied to him was $10,754,460.71 on June 30.

Why there is no assessment here

The quarterly filings show the joint fundraising committees' reported receipts and transfers. The four-committee total described above is $7.74 million, counting internal transfers once, in line with the fundraising claim. Cash on hand on June 30 was $10.75 million across all six, short of the "more than $11 million" claimed. The third-quarter reports, due October 15, show where the joint committees' money went next.

Limit: The six committees are his campaign committee, his nominee fund, his leadership PAC, Husted Victory, Team Husted and the Barrasso Husted Moody Fund. Cleveland Husted Victory registered on July 17, 2026, after the quarter. Other reasonable ways of counting give $7.31 million to $8.40 million. Whether the quarter more than doubled his first was not tested.

  3. Greg Levy files

    The same list records Greg Levy as filing on May 5, 2026, with a nonpartisan designation. All four were valid when the list was read on September 23, 2026; three write-in candidates filed on August 24.

  4. Second-quarter reports filed

    The four principal campaign committees reported on the quarter ending June 30: Redpath's on July 11, and Brown's, Husted's and Levy's on July 15.
