COLUMBUS, OHIO — Senator Jon Husted’s campaign for U.S. Senate just picked up one of the most celebrated endorsements in Ohio politics: the full support of Jim Tressel, the legendary former Ohio State University head football coach who led the Buckeyes to a national championship and now serves as Ohio’s Lieutenant Governor.
Team Husted made the announcement on X, sharing a video of Husted and Tressel together and declaring that “Jon Husted is honored to have the support of Jim Tressel — together they are fighting for hardworking Ohio families and delivering results.” Few voices carry more weight in the Buckeye State than Tressel’s, and his backing is a major show of confidence in Husted’s vision for Ohio’s future in the U.S. Senate.
Tressel has long been one of Ohio’s most respected and beloved public figures — first on the sidelines at Ohio Stadium, and now in public service. His endorsement reflects the broad, deep coalition Husted is building across the state: leaders who know Ohio, love Ohio, and are committed to fighting for the hardworking families who call it home.
Senator Husted continues to build momentum heading into the race, earning the support of Ohioans from every walk of life who are ready to deliver real results in Washington.
