Following redistricting in Ohio last year, it is now one of the most competitive districts in the country – in 2024, Democrats only held this seat by a margin of just 2 points (the closest margin of victory in the state for a Congressional district). 

Retaining this seat is critical for Democrats as they fight to flip the House on November 3rd. Your investment toward Rep. Sykes’ campaign is crucial to protecting this Democratic seat and re-electing a historic trailblazer!
