It still remains to be seen whether Republicans who control the seven-member commission will put forward a plan to redraw the state’s 99 House districts and 33 Senate districts.
Gov. Mike DeWine, center, swears in members of the Ohio Redistricting Commission on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023. COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Ohio Redistricting Commission is set to reconvene on Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Mike DeWine announced, ending a week-long delay stemming from a tug-of-war over political power between Republican legislative leaders.
The seven-member commission was sworn in last Wednesday, but the meeting was called off soon after that because Senate President Matt Huffman, a Lima Republican, and House Speaker Jason Stephens, a Lawrence County Republican, couldn’t agree on the usually mundane issue of deciding which Republican should co-chair the commission. Huffman, who can’t seek reelection in the Senate next year because of term limits, is expected to challenge Stephens for the speaker’s gavel in 2025.
Russo and Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio of Lakewood, the two Democrats on the seven-member commission, said during an online news conference Tuesday morning that they hadn’t seen any overall redistricting plan from Republicans. However, Russo, who’s from suburban Columbus, said “some concepts” have been discussed.
