ABOUT OHIO

Over the next two years, Ohio Democrats (ODP) will build an organization to win
highly-consequential elections up and down the ballot. With new leadership comes a new
vision for our Party, refocusing on the core fundamentals that move the needle. ODP is

chance to take control of the Ohio Supreme Court, make gains in the state legislature, and
defend three battleground congressional seats under new legislative maps.
