Business First: Ohio Insurance Department chief Mary Jo Hudson hands in resignation


Insurance Department chief Hudson hands in resignation


Mary Jo Hudson

Ohio Department of Insurance Director Mary Jo Hudson has tendered her resignation less than a week before Republican Gov.-elect John Kasich’s administration takes over.

Hudson said Tuesday that her last day on the job will be Friday. Her resignation is effective Monday, when Kasich is sworn in. A former Columbus City Council member, Hudson was appointed to the Insurance Department when outgoing Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland took office in 2007.

Hudson said in a statement that she’s “proud of the many changes that we have implemented over the past four years that effectively protected Ohio insurance consumers while encouraging the state’s growth as a vibrant and competitive insurance market.”

Kasich has made a number of cabinet appointments in recent weeks but hasn’t yet tapped a new leader for the department.
