Take Action Ohio

Senate (Brown), OH-01 (Landsman), OH-03 (Sykes)

Ohio elections traditionally have matched the trends of the rest of the country. In recent years, the state has shifted red, but voters passing the statewide abortion access question could indicate a swing back toward blue. In 2024, robust voter turnout in major cities like Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo as well as a strong Ohio economy should benefit Democrats.

Sherrod Brown has served in the U.S. Senate since 2007 and has earned a reputation as a champion of the working class. The U.S. Congressional races to watch in Ohio are the two Democratic freshmen representatives: OH-01, Greg Landsman; and OH-03, Emilia Sykes.

The battle for Ohio’s U.S. Senate seat is expected to be one of the closest in the country. In his first race for the Senate. Sherrod Brown defeated an incumbent Republican by double digits in 2006. He has survived a decade of statewide Democratic losses in Ohio by building a reputation as the rare person in his party who can still connect with white working-class voters who have increasingly shifted to Republican.
He also stood up to drug companies, railroads, and Wall Street.

Two Ohio races for the U.S. House are crucial for Democrats. The outcome could influence the balance of power in Congress, and their ability to maintain their seats in traditionally Republican areas could signal larger political shifts in the state and beyond.

  • Greg Landsman, OH-01: A former teacher and non-profit leader, Landsman unseated a longtime Republican incumbent in the 2022 midterms. Dark money (read Republicans) went after Landsman, as well as Sykes and Marcy Kaptur less than two months into their terms, indicating the GOP sees these representatives as vulnerable.
  • Emilia Sykes, OH-03: Born in Akron, Sykes holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s degree in public health, and a juris doctor degree. She served as minority leader in In the Ohio State House prior to serving in Congress.
