Huge numbers of Ohioans to see big increases in insurance costs • Ohio Capital Journal

A federal program is about to expire that could cost more than 100,000 Ohioans health insurance. The state's U.S. senators won't comment.

🚨 🚨

Ohio is the next state up when it comes to the GOP effort to steal seats before the 2026 midterms.

There are five days left before the deadline of the newly drawn House map emerging from the Ohio State house.

There has been all sorts of activity.

REMINDER: House/Senate Democrats proposed a map that is 8R - 7D.

You can review it online to see how your community would be impacted as well as how it'd reflect us statewide.

It's a great start - now we need a GOP map to respond to.
