Jon Allen Husted (/hjuːstɛd/ HEW-sted; born August 25, 1967) is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from Ohio since 2025. A member of the Republican Party, Husted previously served as the 66th lieutenant governor of Ohio from 2019 to 2025 and as the 50th secretary of state of Ohio from 2011 to 2019.

Husted previously represented the 6th District of the Ohio Senate (a portion of Montgomery County) from 2009 to 2011 and was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 2001 to 2009. From 2005 to 2009, Husted served as Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives. He was elected Ohio Secretary of State in 2010 and re-elected in 2014.

Husted was a candidate in the Republican Party primary for Governor of Ohio in the 2018 election but later announced that he would instead run for lieutenant governor of Ohio as Attorney General Mike DeWine's running mate.

On January 17, 2025, Governor Mike DeWine appointed Husted to fill the vacant U.S. Senate seat in Ohio created by the resignation of JD Vance, who became Vice President.[1] He was sworn in on January 21, 2025.[2]
