Ohio Dems Chair Applauds Democratic Congressional Map Proposal

September 9, 2025

Columbus, Ohio- Today, Ohio House and Senate Democrats released their proposed congressional maps. Unlike Ohio's current maps, where Republicans hold 66% of our congressional seats despite earning just 55% of the vote, Democrats have proposed a map that is more representative of Ohio's actual political leaning based on recent election results.

In response, Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde released the following statement:

"House and Senate Democrats have proposed a map that gives all Ohioans an equal voice in our elections, because Ohio Democrats believe voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around.

We're calling on Republican legislators to work with us to pass a map that gives voters an equal opportunity to make their voices heard instead of the same partisan process from last time that led us to the gerrymandered maps that are required by law to be redrawn. Democrats are committed to an open, fair process, and that starts with this proposal. Voters deserve an open, fair process and that starts with today's proposed map."
