30 Days

30 days are left until the midterm election. The Republicans have surged in the Senate polls but the Democrats are still in the lead in the House race. At the State level there is also very much at stake. The Republicans are leading in both the Governors race and State Senate Race currently. The new Governor and State Senate along with the General Assembly elected in 2020 will draw Ohio's new Congressional districts after the 2020 census is over. That means those elections will affect the state and even federal races for Ohio is a swing state until 2032. The Governor along with the majority and minority leader of both state houses and the 4 other statewide elected officers like the attorney general and the secretary of state will form the state redistributing commission. They will redraw the State Senate, State House, and State Board of Education districts after the next census. Since they will have a say in the next redistricting cycle the commission will affect state and Federal elections all the way until 2042. Make sure to vote this November.
