NEW from The Hill: A warning from Texas and Ohio about Republicans' redistricting power-grab

September 5, 2025

Columbus, Ohio- In case you missed it, Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde penned an op-ed along with Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder warning voters across the country about the redistricting battle that's coming to their states next. Ohio is the only state required by law to redraw congressional maps this year. Republicans are expected to use the opportunity to silence the voices of voters and further rig Ohio's maps.

READ highlights from Chair Clyde and Chair Scudder below and check out the full piece here:

• As Chairs of the Democratic Party in Ohio and Texas, we have a warning for the rest of the country: Republicans will do anything they can to stay in power, including subverting basic principles of democracy because they don't respect the voters.

• Our state parties will make sure voters don't forget how eagerly Republicans have been willing to sell their votes to save their own seats in Congress.

• Texas was first. Ohio is next. But Ohioans and Texans have never backed down from a fight, and we don't plan to start now.
