COLUMBUS, Ohio – Congressman Troy Balderson today announced his endorsement of Sen. Jon Husted. The endorsement reinforces complete GOP unity behind Husted as the campaign proceeds without primary opposition. Balderson also shared a video message outlining why he believes Husted is the right choice to keep his seat for Ohio.

Balderson, known for his commitment to innovative solutions that address the needs of Ohio’s rural communities, praised Husted’s dedication to serving Ohioans.

“I am proud to endorse my friend, Senator Jon Husted, a proven conservative who has spent his career fighting for Ohio values and delivering results for Ohio families. Jon Husted has earned the trust of Ohioans time and again, as our secretary of state, lieutenant governor and now as United States senator. In each role, he fought for election integrity, lower taxes and opportunities for Ohio workers – policies that put Ohio first. His record is built on delivering results.

By contrast, Sherrod Brown spent decades saying one thing at home while voting another way in Washington, consistently siding with the far left agenda. In 2024, Ohioans saw through that record and sent him into retirement after 50 years of double speak. Jon Husted shares our Ohio values, and more importantly, he fights for them every day. He has my full support and endorsement to continue that fight in the United States Senate,” Balderson said.

“I’m grateful to have the endorsement of Congressman Troy Balderson, who has consistently stood up for working families and rural communities across Ohio,” Husted said. “Together, we’ll keep fighting for policies that strengthen small towns, reward work, and ensure the next generation can build a good life right here at home.”

Husted officially launched his campaign last month, releasing a kickoff video, rolling out a statewide grassroots operation, and filing to appear on the 2026 ballot.
