Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Friday appointed his lieutenant governor and fellow Republican, Jon Husted, to fill the Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Husted said at a news conference with DeWine in Columbus that stepping away from his current role “has not been easy.’’
“But representing Ohio in the U.S. Senate is an amazing opportunity,” he said. “It’s something that an adopted kid who grew up on County Road J in Montpelier, Ohio, could have never imagined.”
