Ohio legislative Democrats show signs of life in campaign fundraising
Democrats say stronger fundraising ahead of 2026 puts them in position to challenge the GOP’s legislative supermajority, even as Republicans reported far more cash.

Reader support has made it possible for our reporters to uncover the hidden ways Ohioans are impacted by policy, power and profit.
We investigated how and why a small-town Ohio hospital sued 2,700 patients for unpaid medical bills in just two years. We revealed how fracking wastewater may be leaking underground, threatening landowners’ oil wells and drinking water. We explored the many ways the controversial Senate Bill 1 is impacting higher education in Ohio.
We’ve helped readers make sense of rising electric bills, untangled property tax proposals and kept watch on the redistricting process that will shape Ohio’s political future.
This is the kind of in-depth, statewide reporting that’s too often missing — but it’s exactly what we do best.
At Signal Statewide, we follow the money, ask hard questions, and connect the dots so you can understand how decisions in Columbus ripple across your everyday life.
