Leadership Now Senior Advisor Richard Stoff and member James Ratner co-authored an opinion piece in The Plain Dealer calling for fair redistricting in Ohio as essential to both democracy and economic competitiveness.

The Electoral Innovation Lab, in partnership with the Leadership Now Project, has released a new nonpartisan report analyzing Ohio’s congressional redistricting scenarios ahead of the 2026 elections. The report warns that aggressive gerrymanders could displace millions of voters and destabilize representation, while fair maps would restore accountability, reflect Ohio’s true partisan balance, and strengthen economic competitiveness.
