Later that day, he referenced Ohio’s extensive rail infrastructure and ongoing safety concerns: “Ohio has more than 5,000 miles of rail.

I had a great meeting with Teamsters Rail Conference President Mark Wallace to talk about how we can do just that. https://t.co/80B7ZFpXle”
On February 10, Husted reported on efforts to support mothers’ access to safe baby formula: “Grateful to meet with bobbie CEO Laura Modi to discuss what Congress can do to ensure that America’s moms have access to safe formula for their babies. https://t.co/E6diNTN6ST”
The reference to the “tragedy in East Palestine” alludes to the train derailment and hazardous chemical spill that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio in early 2023—a major incident that brought national attention to rail safety issues across the United States.
