Less Than 48 Hours Until Next Redistricting Deadline, It's Radio Silence from Ohio Republicans

October 29, 2025

Columbus, Ohio- Less than 48 hours remain until Ohio Republicans will have officially blown past another redistricting deadline without revealing a proposed congressional map or seriously considering other proposals. Republicans are set on running out the clock to pass their extreme, unconstitutional map out of sight, but Democrats are fighting back and making sure Ohioans know what's at stake.

While Ohioans wait to see exactly how Republicans will try to silence their voices and their votes, here's what Republicans have been up to:

First, Republicans on the Ohio Redistricting Committee spent the month of September holding sham hearings, ignoring voters who travelled from across the state to provide testimony, and stalled the fair, constitutional map Democrats proposed while failing to provide an alternative.

Now, Republicans have spent October waiting to seat the Ohio Redistricting Commission until the last minute and only holding one hearing with no opportunity for public testimony. They're expected to miss the second deadline in this process with no proposed map.

Next, the process moves back to the general assembly, where Republicans will likely try to quickly introduce and pass an extreme, unconstitutional map out of sight of voters. Democrats have options in this process and will use every tool available to make sure Ohioans get the fair map they deserve.
