COLUMBUS - The Ohio Democratic Women's Legislative Caucus (ODWLC) Wednesday announced its leadership team for the 136th General Assembly.

"ODWLC is a testament to the strength of women coming together with purpose and passion. Especially at a time when our nation's leaders seem to be hell bent on setting us back. By lifting each other up and standing for what's right, we are creating a brighter, more equitable future-not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. I look forward to working with this caucus to uplift and amplify women's voices in the statehouse and across Ohio," said ODWLC Chair Rep. Munira Abdullahi (D-Columbus). "I'm honored to have been elected chair of the Ohio Democratic Women's Legislative Caucus by my peers, especially at a time where we need solidarity and strength more than ever. This General Assembly marks the first time women make up HALF of the Ohio House Democratic Caucus."

The full executive ODWLC committee is:

Chair - Rep. Munira Abdullahi (D-Columbus)
Vice Chair - Rep. Beryl Brown Piccolantonio (D-Gahanna)
Policy Chair - Rep. Rachel Baker (D-Cincinnati)
Secretary - Rep. Lauren McNally (D-Youngstown)
Treasurer - Sen. Paula Hicks-Hudson (D-Toledo)

The mission of the Ohio Democratic Women's Legislative Caucus is to develop and pass policies and legislation that improve the lives of Ohio women and their families; to identify and support emerging women leaders by serving as mentors; to educate and empower women and increase women's involvement in public life and in the Ohio General Assembly.
