CLEVELAND: Senator Jon Husted, Senator for the 6^th District of Ohio, will discuss County government reform particularly Cuyahoga County reform noon on Friday, January 30, 2009, at The City Club of Cleveland.
 

As Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, Sen. Husted played a major role in the recent debate over Cuyahoga County government reform.  He also worked to persuade Senate lawmakers to reintroduce county-reform language that would have allowed Cuyahoga County commissioners to vote onto the ballot a plan to restructure county government.

As reported in the Plain Dealer, Sen. Husted’s name has recently come up in discussions about potential Republican Party candidates for state-wide office as soon as 2010. 

Jon Husted was first elected to the legislature in 2000, representing Ohio’s 37^th House District. In 2005 and again in 2007, Husted’s colleagues honored him by electing him Speaker of the Ohio House. In 2008, Husted was elected to the Ohio Senate representing the 6^th Senate district.
