Jon Husted (R-Ohio) visited the Appalachian Ohio Manufacturers\u2019 Coalition Support Center in Marietta and met with members of the Columbus business community at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. He also visited Black Wing Shooting Center in celebration of National Shooting Sports Month.\n\n\u201cThe Ohioans I met with this week are all examples of the leadership that makes our state strong. From workers and job creators to sportsmen, they are committed to making Ohio an even better place to live and work. I always enjoy the time I get to spend on the ground with Ohioans, hearing their priorities and taking those conversations back with me as I represent them in the U.S. Senate,\u201d said Husted.\n\nAt the Appalachian Ohio Manufacturers\u2019 Coalition Support Center, Husted held a roundtable with industry partners, local elected officials and education partners on the importance of strengthening Ohio\u2019s workforce.\n\nThis visit builds on Husted\u2019s work to equip students with the skills necessary to earn high-paying jobs, strengthening the workforce. As Ohio\u2019s lieutenant governor, Husted expanded career technical education to give more Ohio students access to skills training that enabled them to graduate high school career-ready. He also pioneered TechCred and the Individual Microcredential Assistance Program, a job training program that provides every Ohioan with access to the credentials they need to earn good jobs.\n\nHusted also helped pass Workforce Pell Grants into law this summer. Workforce Pell Grants will soon make short-term, high-quality training programs eligible for federal financial aid.\n\nHusted also joined members of the Columbus business community for a discussion at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce on economic development and efforts to support Ohio businesses and job creators.\n\nAdditionally, Husted visited Black Wing Shooting Center in celebration of National Shooting Sports Month. Black Wing is a family-owned indoor and outdoor shooting range. Husted is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, hunting and recreational shooting sports.\n\nThese visits build on Husted\u2019s work to help Ohio workers, manufacturers and small businesses. In the Senate, Husted is supporting:\n\nMade in America Manufacturing Financing Act: This bill would expand access to growth capital for small U.S.-based manufacturers.\n\nInvesting in All of America Act: This bill would expand access to capital for small businesses in rural and low-income communities, as well as those in the manufacturing and critical technology sectors.\n\nAI for Mainstreet Act: This bill would provide training, guidance and support to American small businesses looking to implement AI into their businesses.\n\nRepealing Big Brother Overreach Act: This bill would eliminate the requirement for small businesses to report beneficial ownership information to the Treasury Department, which is burdensome and overreaching.\n\nHusted also supported the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which includes major provisions for small businesses and their workforce:", 1, "2026-08-21T05:30:57Z", "2026-08-21T05:32:22Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.husted.senate.gov/media/press-releases/husted-meets-with-ohio-job-creators-business-leaders-and-sportsmen-in-marietta-columbus-delaware/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9991910774260759, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
