Demand Fair Maps Now

Ohioans deserve a transparent, fair redistricting process. The state legislature missed its September 30 constitutional deadline to pass a new congressional map with bipartisan support, but failed to even propose a map. Now the process moves to the Ohio Redistricting Commission which has to introduce a map and hold two public hearings and a vote before October 31 according to the Ohio constitution:

If officials are serious about holding a fair process, they should introduce their proposed map now and give the public an opportunity to testify before the deadline. Otherwise, the only conclusion is that our elected leaders intend to run out the clock, blow past the deadline, and ram through a partisan gerrymander in November.

Tell Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and members of the Ohio Redistricting Commission to do their jobs, honor their oath and convene the Commission to let Ohioans be heard.
