COLUMBUS, OHIO - Today, Jon Husted voted for the fourth time to support the Administration's war in Iran, once again supporting an expensive foreign intervention in the Middle East that has claimed 13 American lives, including three Ohioans, and has no end in sight.

Ohioans are being hit hard by soaring gas prices, and farmers are getting crushed by rising diesel and fertilizer costs, which will raise the price of groceries - but Husted thinks the war is going "much better than anyone thought it would."

While the average price of gasoline has reached $4 a gallon, Husted has no solutions to lower costs at home. Husted has instead insulted struggling Ohioans as "not very experienced at navigating the real world" and dismissed the mounting affordability crisis by telling Ohioans to fix their "work ethic" and to simply "earn more" money to make ends meet.

Ohio Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Tony Wen released the following statement:

"This week, Jon Husted voted for the fourth time to support another endless war in the Middle East while hardworking Ohioans are getting crushed by skyrocketing costs. Instead of fighting to lower gas prices for families or fertilizer prices for farmers, Husted supports sending more money overseas while lecturing us to work harder."
