Columbus, OH, September 29, 2026 —

Josh Rubin, who holds the position of chairman for the JobsOhio board and previously served as an advisor to FirstEnergy, is scheduled to undergo deposition in a federal civil lawsuit. The depositions are slated for September 30 and October 1.

The lawsuit, filed against FirstEnergy, involves allegations from investors who claim the energy company engaged in a deliberate campaign to influence Ohio legislators. According to the investors’ claims, this alleged campaign aimed to secure the passage of laws that would be favorable to FirstEnergy’s interests.

Rubin’s involvement in the proceedings stems from his past professional connections to FirstEnergy. His roles as a former advisor and lobbyist for the company, along with FirstEnergy’s interactions with JobsOhio, are considered central to the ongoing legal examination. The specific details of the alleged corrupt campaign and the legislative outcomes remain central to the case.

The contractor’s name who is allegedly involved in the campaign was not provided in the summary. The specific timeline of the alleged campaign to corrupt Ohio legislators was also not provided. Furthermore, the summary did not include details about any permit status, inspection outcomes, code violations, or fine amounts related to FirstEnergy or the individuals involved.

The federal civil lawsuit continues to unfold, with Rubin’s upcoming depositions marking a significant point in the proceedings as investigators seek to understand the alleged influence campaign orchestrated by FirstEnergy.
