Pre-Primary Filings Show Momentum for Democrats Running for Ohio Supreme Court
March 7, 2024
Columbus, OH – Today, Ohio Democrats running for the Ohio Supreme Court announced their pre-primary fundraising totals for 2024. So far this year, endorsed Ohio Democrats running for the Court have raised the following amounts.
- Judge Lisa Forbes: $105,210
- Justice Michael Donnelly: $84,792
- Justice Melody Stewart: $41,828
“With so much at stake this year, Ohio Democrats are working harder than ever to flip the Ohio Supreme Court and restore justice, fairness and equality back to the state’s highest bench. For too long, politics has taken precedence over people on the Republican-controlled Court, and we’re ready to stand with Ohio voters to take our court back this November,” said Matt Keyes, spokesperson for the Ohio Democratic Party.
Ohio is the only state in the country with the opportunity to flip its state supreme court this year. And while abortion rights are clearly on the ballot in 2024, it’s not the only issue that will likely come before the supreme court. Redistricting reform, voters’ access to the ballot and marijuana legalization are all critical issues that will likely be decided by the court Ohioans elect this November.
