ABOUT OHIO

Over the next two years, the Ohio Democrats will build an organization to win highly consequential elections, both in terms of electing Democrats and protecting Ohioans’ fundamental rights in ballot initiatives and/or special elections. With new leadership comes a new vision for our Party, refocusing on the core fundamentals that move the needle. ODP is building back better as a focused, modern, and nimble force to elect Democrats up and down the ballot and to fight for the values we stand for now and in the future.

Ohio Democrats must defend Ohioans’ basic rights, preserve our state’s most fundamental democratic institutions, and re-elect Senator Sherrod Brown in what will be the nation’s top targeted race in 2024. The battle to maintain the Senate majority will be fought in Ohio. 2024 also offers the 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.
