ICYMI: Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde Talks With NBC4’s Colleen Marshall About Democrats’ Winning Message

July 28, 2026

COLUMBUS, OH – In just 14 weeks, Ohioans will be heading to the polls on Election Day in Ohio, and Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde spoke with NBC4about Ohio Democrats’ work to connect with Ohioans of all political backgrounds in every corner of the state around our candidates’ focus on lowering costs for Ohio families. While Republicans up and down the ballot have to own Donald Trump and Washington Republicans’ economic policies that are sky-rocketing costs, like their healthcare cuts, reckless war with Iran, and tariffs that are devastating Ohio families, Ohio Democrats are bringing our winning message to every corner of the state in urban, suburban, and rural communities.

In case you missed it, check out Chair Clyde’s conversation with Colleen Marshall about how Ohio Democrats are on offense connecting with voters about our mission to tackle high costs, deliver real relief, and get our state and country back on track.

NBC4: How political parties are reaching Ohio voters before midterm election

  • In approximately 100 days, Ohioans will pick a new governor, and both major political parties are doing everything they can to get you to the polls and win your vote.
  • Each party needs to inspire enthusiasm because turnout in a midterm election is vital, so they are figuring out how to reach core demographics. Democrats, for example, started a rural caucus to talk to voters in outlying and Appalachian counties about affordability.
  • “It’s important for us to reach all types of votes in all 88 counties across Ohio; young voters, veterans, our rural voters,” Ohio Democratic Party Chairperson Kathleen Clyde said. “We’re leaving no rock unturned and making sure that we’re getting out there and talking about that critical message of lowering costs.”
  • Each party is trying to decide how to deal with the Trump factor. The president has been very popular in Ohio, and Republicans believe he will continue to help their ticket here, but Democrats said that with the ongoing war in Iran and rising costs, his waning popularity will help them.
