LOG YOUR CALL: Tell your Senator to preserve the Ohio Elections Commission

While prosecutors are STILL continuing to seek accountability for those involved in the HB6 scandal — the largest bribery scheme the state has ever seen — the legislature is considering making it even harder to combat government corruption. Rather than working to strengthen transparency, Ohio House leaders slipped in a budget provision that would entirely eliminate the Ohio Election Commission, the state’s independent campaign finance enforcement agency. For our democracy to work, elected officials must...

Tell your legislators and Gov. DeWine that you don’t want to pay for the new Browns Stadium!

In April, the Ohio House approved a state operating budget that includes a $600M bond to support a new Cleveland Browns stadium in Brook Park, a suburb of Cleveland. The bond will cost taxpayers $1 billion over 30 years – all to support the Cleveland Browns, a privately owned, for-profit business that is owned by the wealthy Haslam Sports Group. (Jimmy Haslam’s personal net worth is $8.5 billion, and the Haslam family’s worth overall is...

Tell Your State Representative to Reject Article V Constitutional Convention Legislation

Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to advance extremist agendas by calling for an Article V Constitutional Convention of States and setting procedures for appointments. Senate Joint Resolution 3 received its first hearing in late February and the companion, House Joint Resolution 2, received proponent testimony in May. Similar bills were introduced last summer in the 135th General Assembly and, if advanced, would signify a dangerous and unnecessary direction for Ohio and the country. A convention...

LOG YOUR CALL: Tell Your State Senator to Reject Senate Bill 153

Senate Bill 153 (together with its identical twin, House Bill 233) is the latest attempt to rewrite Ohio’s election laws. The bill is massive, unnecessary, and harmful. If enacted it would make it harder for eligible Ohioans to vote, and harder to collect petition signatures, while at the same time placing impossible bureaucratic and financial burdens on our county boards of elections. On Tuesday, the Ohio Senate General Government Committee heard from only one proponent...

LOG YOUR CALL: Voting and elections legislation should not be rushed!

As the 135th General Assembly comes to a close, Ohio legislators are pushing two enormous and radical voting and elections bills. Both SB 324 and HB 552 would drastically alter the way elections are handled in Ohio, undermining both the work of the Boards of Elections and access for Ohio voters. We know these bills would have a huge impact, but we can’t say exactly what for sure since the reach of the bills is...

Tell Speaker Stephens and Your Representative to Reject Article V Legislation

In June, the Ohio House held hearings to advance extremist agendas by calling for a Constitutional Convention of States. This is a dangerous and unnecessary direction for Ohio and a major threat to our democracy. A fringe group of right-wing ideologues is pushing to fundamentally rewrite the United States Constitution. House Joint Resolution 3 calls for an Article V convention, and House Bill 607 would create a legislative process to appoint convention delegates. If a...
