Ohio Democrats aim to narrow GOP control in state legislature
Ohio Democrats seek to chip away at Republican dominance in the General Assembly while GOP incumbents largely held seats. In the House Republicans led 62 to 37 with 40 seats decided early, and in the Senate Republicans led 22 to 11 as candidates competed for remaining seats. Democrats won at least two House seats and challenged close Senate races, with fundraising totals showing Republicans ahead in both chambers. Newly elected lawmakers prepare to tackle the next two year budget starting January, affecting education funding health care and state programs.
