Frank LaRose and other politicians are trying to sabotage Issue 1 with lies — because they know when we pass Issue 1 on November 5, we will ban gerrymandering in Ohio and put power back where it belongs: with citizens, not politicians.
That’s why we’re launching a new ad featuring REAL Ohio leaders to cut through politicians’ lies and explain to voters why Ohioans across the political spectrum — Republicans, Independents, Democrats — are voting YES on Issue 1 to end gerrymandering.
