Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) is rejecting the class warfare-fueled campaign of ex-Sen. Sherrod Brown as the two battle for blue-collar votes in Ohio’s marquee Senate race.

Husted, appointed last year to replace Vice President JD Vance in the Senate, has a simple message for the more than 600,000 union members who live and work in Ohio and could prove decisive to his race against Brown this fall: “Businesses have to succeed for labor to succeed.”
