Ohio's future depends on us. [View all]

Ohio DUers, I stumbled on this site in another post, and thought it sounded great!

Ohio’s future depends on us.

The Strategy: Show Up Everywhere
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. And for far too long, too many statehouse races have gone uncontested and unsupported. Democrats in these districts feel abandoned, ignored… forgotten. Meanwhile, GOP nominees get free passes.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Working together, we can show up for Ohio’s Democrats, making sure no Democrat gets left behind … no Ohio voter is left without a choice … and no Republican gets a free ride.

Blue Ohio's Bottom-Up Bathtub Model
Blue Ohio funds the races that are usually left behind using our unique “bottom-up bathtub” model. After the Democratic primary, we use campaign finance filings to determine what nominees have the fewest resources. Then we distribute community funds first to those nominees who have raised the least – raising everyone’s “water level” and making sure that every nominee has a base level of support.

In 2020, 13 Democratic nominees for Ohio state legislature had less than $5,000. In 2022, because of the Blue Ohio community, no nominee had less than $5,800.
