ABOUT OHIO
State Parties are responsible for building infrastructure necessary for successful candidate campaigns up and down the ballot. Over the last few years, Ohio Democrats built a year-round organizing model driven by local community activists and volunteers. Ohio Dems are testing new technology and programs to build a modern, data-driven and nimble force to elect Democrats statewide now and in the future.
Ohioans will vote on over 6,000 municipal races in 2025 and in 2026, every statewide office will be on the ballot - including a special election to replace J.D. Vance's seat in the U.S. Senate. With 3 DCCC Frontline Races to protect, the path to a Democratic majority in the U.S. House and Senate will once again run through Ohio in 2026.
