FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>Sen. Jon Husted<\/a> has secured a record-breaking 75 endorsements from Ohio\u2019s 88 county sheriffs, marking the largest show of support from law enforcement in the state\u2019s history, including a “clean sweep” of Independent sheriffs and a show of support from across party lines.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019ve seen at the national level people like Sherrod Brown denying the border crisis, when millions of people poured across our border who were unvetted,” Husted told Fox News Digital. “That included people who were bringing drugs and human trafficking.”<\/p>\n

He explained his belief that the immigration and crime policies put in place under the Biden administration<\/a> made law enforcement hesitant to support Brown, Husted\u2019s Democratic opponent in November who is aiming to return to the Senate after being ousted in 2024 after 18 years in the chamber.<\/p>\n

Local sheriffs feel abandoned by previous federal policies, according to Husted.<\/p>\n

“They would tell me that they would arrest people who were in the country illegally, they would have them in their jails, they would call Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and ICE would just say ‘let them go,'” Husted claimed.<\/p>\n

Husted argued that the current return to pro-enforcement policies in the Trump administration<\/a> has changed the game for those on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These are the people on the front line,” Husted said. “That\u2019s what they experience. They know the difference between where Sherrod Brown is on those issues… and where I\u2019ve been. Now they see the opposite. When they arrest somebody who has committed a crime, who\u2019s in the country illegally, they just call ICE, ICE comes and gets them, and they do the process of deportation.”<\/p>\n

The list of officials backing Husted includes a sheriff who previously stood with Husted\u2019s opponent, Sherrod Brown. Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, who endorsed Brown in the last cycle, is now firmly behind Husted.<\/p>\n

“Jon Husted has proven he will stand up for law enforcement,” Wasylyshyn said in a press release. “In this race, he\u2019s earned my support. I\u2019ve seen his leadership, and I\u2019m confident he will continue to support those of us working to keep our communities safe.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, the sheriff from Brown’s home county of Richland is supporting Husted.<\/p>\n

Husted also framed the issue of crime as a struggle for everyday Ohioans, noting that “working families” don’t have the luxury of private security like some of the high-profile celebrity critics of crime crackdowns.<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re, you know, a working family of four, you make $80,000 a year, you don\u2019t live in a gated community with officers and security,” Husted said. “You live in neighborhoods where, in many cases, criminals try to come and steal cars, bring drugs and things like that. And they don\u2019t want that. That\u2019s why working families support law and order. They support the rule of law. They want people to follow the law, and they want law enforcement to enforce the law.”<\/p>\n

The senator\u2019s campaign pointed to Husted\u2019s long-standing record of funding law enforcement. Throughout his service, he led efforts to invest more than $274 million into Ohio law enforcement for body cameras, training and wellness programs. He also pioneered the creation of a statewide law enforcement recruitment hub to address critical staffing shortages.<\/p>\n

“Jon Husted has been an ally to law enforcement when others have turned their backs,” said Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas Riggenbach. “He has always stood with those of us on the front lines, making sure we have the resources and support we need to do our jobs.”<\/p>\n

For Husted, the endorsements are more than just numbers; they are a validation of his career-long alignment with police. “I\u2019ve been behind the police my whole life,” Husted said. “They\u2019re on the front lines of fighting crime, and they know I\u2019ve always had their backs. I support them, and they support me\u2014and together, we\u2019ll keep Ohio safe.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the Brown campaign for comment.<\/p>\n

The Ohio Senate race is viewed as a key battleground because Democrats see it as a winnable pickup that could erode the GOP\u2019s narrow 53\u201347 majority, while Republicans need to hold it to prevent their already slim margin from tightening further.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
