Ohio Democratic Party Launches Coordinated Campaign, "OhioWins"

May 12, 2026

COLUMBUS, OH - With all eyes on Ohio and competitive elections in every corner of our state up and down the ballot, the Ohio Democratic Party is launching OhioWins, an historic coordinated campaign that will be mobilizing in all 88 counties to elect Democrats who will lower costs for Ohio families, protect Ohioans' freedoms, and grow our state. OhioWins will also work tirelessly to educate voters and protect Ohioans' right to vote.

"I'm thrilled to launch the OhioWins coordinated campaign as it hits the ground running to connect with Ohioans around our winning message and commonsense plans to lower costs, protect our freedoms, and grow our communities," said Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde. "Ohioans know that Republicans in Columbus and in Washington are only making life more difficult and more expensive for Ohio families, and we're already seeing incredible energy around our Democratic candidates, from Sherrod Brown and Dr. Amy Acton to our Democratic Congress members and leaders down the ballot. There is a place for Ohioans of all political backgrounds in our coordinated campaign, and I look forward to all that our Democratic coordinated campaign will do in the days to come to help Ohioans win in November and beyond."

"The stakes in this election couldn't be higher and our coordinated campaign is going to be connecting with Ohioans in every corner of our state around the importance of electing Democrats up and down the ballot who will lower costs, protect our freedoms, and help ensure that everyone can thrive in our communities," said OhioWins Democratic Coordinated Campaign Director Katey Fairchild. "When Democrats mobilize everywhere, we can win anywhere - a message that Ohioans of all political stripes are going to send loud and clear in November, and every day until then as they join with our coordinated campaign to make clear that the status quo in Columbus and in Washington isn't working for working families."

OhioWins is an historic effort, mobilizing everywhere to support Democratic leaders in competitive elections for Senate, Governor, House, and down the ballot throughout Ohio.

• OhioWins is launching with a foundation of more than 20 staffers already on the ground, including individuals focused on organizing, voter access, data, and operations - a majority of those staffers having Ohio ties. OhioWins will continue hiring to build an aggressive operation in all 88 Ohio counties in the days to come.
• Members of the coordinated campaign are organizing key constituencies with staffers already on board focused on connecting with Ohioans in: urban areas, rural areas, and on Ohio's campuses.
• With strong candidates at the top of the ticket - and all the way down the ballot - organizers are on board who have specific focuses on defending our congressional incumbents in frontline races.
• In addition to a strong field operation, the coordinated campaign is investing in record-setting infrastructure to protect access to the ballot box for Ohioans, including the hiring of a Voter Access Director and additional staff.
• OhioWins will deploy a state-of-the-art data and analytics team that ensures voter contact efforts are microtargeted to the exact voters that will carry Ohio Democrats to victory in 2026
