Lt. Governor Jon Husted brings a wide range of experience and insight to the importance of local chambers in building our business community and growing our local economy.  

He oversees?the?Ohio Common Sense Initiative (CSI)?and?serves as the director of both the?Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation?and?InnovateOhio.

A graduate of Montpelier High School, he earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Dayton (UD). After receiving his master’s degree, he remained in the Miami Valley and served as Vice President for Economic Development at the Dayton-Area Chamber of Commerce.

As Secretary of State, Husted made it his mission to make Ohio the best state in the Midwest to do business by improving customer service and reducing wait times for entrepreneurs. Under his leadership, the state moved beyond week-long processing of paper forms and made it possible for businesses to interact with the state over the Internet with the click of a button. He also has reduced the cost for starting a business in Ohio by 21 percent — making Ohio the least costly state in the Midwest to start and maintain a new business.

In 2017, Secretary Husted announced the efficiencies in his office had not only allowed him to cut the fees the state charged on Ohio entrepreneurs, but also eliminate the need for taxpayer funding for the government office entirely for the remainder of his term in office – a move that has saved taxpayers millions of dollars.

As House Speaker, Jon led the passage of the most conservative state budget in 40 years, which included, at the time, the largest income tax cut in Ohio’s history.

On Nov. 6, 2018, Jon Husted was elected to serve as Lt. Governor of Ohio.
