SUMMARY:Is Senator Jon Husted the April Fool?
DESCRIPTION:\nWed 4/1 @ 11AM-12:30PM\nWhen Trump was elected again in Novem
 ber 2020\, bringing along Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice-president\, 
 Governor Mike DeWine was tasked with appointing a replacement until the ne
 xt Senate election in 2026. He chose his own lieutenant governor (and form
 er secretary of state) Jon Husted\, known for being enmeshed in the $61 mi
 llion First Energy scandal\, among other things as a conduit for appointme
 nt First Energy’s man Sam Randazzo to head the Public Utilities Commissi
 on of Ohio\, which oversees businesses like First Energy. (Neat\, huh?) Hu
 sted recently testified in the trial of a couple of First Energy executive
 s and said he doesn’t remember nuttin’.\nIn addition\, Husted recently
  said the only reason low-income people are struggling is\, well\, to quot
 e him\, “People living in poverty are just not very\, they’re not very
  experienced at navigating the real world.” Wouldn’t you like to see h
 im attempt to “navigate” on an income of\, say\, $25\,000 a year? I wo
 uld!\nLuckily\, that Senate election is coming up in November\, and we hav
 e the opportunity to replace Husted with former Senator Sherrod Brown\, wh
 o has always worked hard on behalf of those who have less rather than Firs
 t Energy executives.\nMobilize the Vote NEO and their allies have been dog
 ged in calling out Senator Husted\, gathering every Wednesday outside his 
 office. They say\, “During these (very) trying times humor and fun are n
 ecessary. On April Fools’ Day\, activists around Ohio are organizing spe
 cial protests at each of Husted's Ohio offices to let him know what a terr
 ible job he is doing ‘representing’ Ohioans. We will also use this tim
 e to let everyone in Ohio know that we won't be fooled into voting for him
  in November. Come to one of Husted's offices on April 1 with a performan
 ce review\, a letter\, a sign or just bring your voice. Rain or shine\, so
  dress for the weather!”\nHusted’s office is in the Celebrezze Federal
  Building at East 9th and Lakeside. Activists will be gathering outside fr
 om 11am-12:30pm\; bring a sign telling Husted what his REAL priorities sho
 uld be and help send him back to “the real world” in November. Learn m
