Claimant: Sherrod Brown (D)
Claim: Sen. Jon Husted “led the push to bring data centers to Ohio and gave billions of tax dollars to make it happen.”
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: Husted actively promoted data center expansion and defended tax incentives while serving as Ohio lieutenant governor. Data centers received about $2.5 billion in state and local tax incentives from 2017 to 2024. However, the Ohio Tax Credit Authority formally approved the exemptions rather than Husted personally.
