Stand Against Gerrymandering.
Support Free & Fair Elections.
In a democracy, voters are supposed to choose their politicians, not the other way around. But in Ohio, the Republican Party’s rampant gerrymandering has rigged the system, allowing them to pick their voters and maintain power at any cost. This isn’t just unfair – it’s unconstitutional, as our state Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled.
Gerrymandering has far-reaching consequences. It leads to extreme candidates, backed by big donors, winning elections that reflect the views of a minority, not the majority. It undermines the very principle of representative democracy. And it’s clear that the Ohio GOP cannot be trusted to create fair districts on their own.
That’s why I wholeheartedly support the Citizens Not Politicians initiative. This ballot measure puts Ohio citizens in charge of redistricting, ensuring that our voting maps are drawn in a fair, impartial way that respects the will of the people.
Here’s how Citizens Not Politicians will create a better system:
- It establishes a 15-member Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission, composed of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents from across the state. This ensures diverse representation and prevents any one group from dominating the process.
- It bars current or former politicians, political party officials, and lobbyists from serving on the Commission, preventing conflicts of interest and ensuring accountability.
- It makes it unconstitutional to gerrymander districts for political gain, mandating that maps be drawn to give all Ohioans an equal voice.
- It guarantees an open and transparent process, so citizens can see how their districts are being shaped.
That’s where you come in. A donation to my campaign today will help us build a grassroots movement to end gerrymandering and put Ohio citizens in charge. Your support will fund our organizing efforts, get-out-the-vote drives, and the resources we need to take on the GOP machine.
Stand with me against gerrymandering. Stand for a democracy where voters choose their politicians, not the other way around. Donate now and let’s build a better Ohio for all.
