“I’m committed to lowering everyday costs for working families—that’s why my first bill to become law was focused on just that.” View Husted’s remarks here . WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) today joined U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin for an announcement in the Oval Office about new actions that will reduce burdens and cut costs for consumers. “I’m committed to lowering everyday costs for working families—that’s why my first bill signed into law focused on just that. This announcement aimed at lowering grocery prices is another step toward moving America in the right direction by cutting out-of-touch regulations that make life more expensive for Ohioans. I’ll keep working to restore consumer choice and eliminate overbearing and costly regulations for the American people,” said Husted. The announcement includes a proposed rule that would change federal refrigerant regulations for air conditioners, grocery stores and cold storage equipment that are intended to lower costs for businesses and help reduce grocery prices for consumers. Husted joined Columbiana Foods, Inc. Owner & COO Ronald Graff, his wife Jennifer Graff and his father Ron Graff Sr. for the announcement. The Graff family operates three independent Giant Eagle stores in the Youngstown area. This builds on Husted’s work to make life easier and more affordable for Ohioans. Husted’s resolution was signed into law in May 2025, giving consumers more choices at lower costs by reversing a burdensome Biden administration energy requirement on household appliances.
