"Because people are invested in what the districts look like, more people are going to show up and have their say -- and to me, again no matter who wins, it's good for democracy." – Kareem Crayton, Ph.D.

As the legal battles over redistricting in the state drag on, Ohioans will have an opportunity to vote this November on an amendment that aims to put an end to gerrymandering. What does that mean for Ohioans? The citizen-led constitutional amendment put forth by Citizens Not Politicians seeks to replace the current Ohio Redistricting Commission with an independent body selected directly by citizens. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has voiced opposition to the amendment, but acknowledged the need for a new political mapmaking system.

Join the City Club for a Happy Dog "Happy Hour" as we take on redistricting. Dr. Kareem Crayton with the Brennan Center and Retired Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor will weigh in on the current state of redistricting in the state and outline the goals of the upcoming amendment on the November ballot.

Advance registration is NOT required at this time, please join us at the Happy Dog!
