COLUMBUS, OHIO — Ohio is officially the best state in America to do business. CNBC has named Ohio “America’s Top State for Business” — the highest ranking in the nation — and it’s a win that belongs to every Ohioan who believed in this state’s potential.
This didn’t happen by accident. It took years of serious, pro-growth leadership: cutting red tape, lowering taxes, investing in Ohio’s workforce, and building an environment where businesses don’t just survive — they thrive. Ohio leaders like Senator Jon Husted were central to that effort, making the tough calls and doing the unglamorous work that moves a state from contender to champion.
Senator Husted has long championed the kind of common-sense, pro-business policies that make Ohio competitive — keeping government out of the way of job creators, developing a skilled workforce, and ensuring Ohio remains a place where entrepreneurs and employers want to put down roots. That vision is now validated at the highest level.
For Ohio Republicans, this ranking is a confirmation of what principled conservative governance delivers. Lower taxes, less red tape, and a government that trusts its people and its businesses — that’s the Ohio model, and CNBC just told the whole country it works.
Ohio is open for business. And the best is still ahead.
