Nickie Antonio(D-23)\, Ohio Redistricting Commission Co-Chair and Senate Minority Leader; Annette Tucker Sutherland\, Shaker Heights Chapter Chair\, League of Women Voters of Greater Cleveland. \n\n\n\nIn 2015 and 2018\, Ohio voters approved amendments to the state Constitution that created a Redistricting Commission to draw districts for the Ohio General Assembly and for Ohio’s representatives to Congress. The Redistricting Commission met after the 2020 Census\, but each proposed map was determined unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court\, including the map used for the 2022 election. After that election\, the Ohio Redistricting Commission\, with bipartisan support\, adopted a sixth version of statehouse maps. Those maps show a Republican advantage of 61-38 in the Ohio House and a 23-10 advantage in the Ohio Senate. The battle continues with a new statewide ballot initiative to create a “citizens not politicians” redistricting commission.
