WOODSFIELD, Ohio – If you draw a line across Ohio, starting at Youngstown, west to Canton and southwest through Columbus and Cincinnati, you’ll roughly split the state in half.That Democrat, Rep. Jack Cera, is term-limited this year. He isn't sure Democrats will hold on to the seat that snakes along the Ohio River on the state's eastern-most edge.
Most people spoke of national politics that don't reflect the cities and small towns they live and work in, as well as frustrations about the way in which their communities are represented.Dick Yoss has three signs in front of his downtown Woodsfield law office, which faces Monroe County’s elections office and sits kitty-corner from the county’s historic courthouse.Yoss, a former county prosecutor, made the first sign himself. He gave nearly 100 away.
For example, gun control doesn't play well in his district. Cera has sided with Republicans on gun bills. But he frequently agrees with Black lawmakers from cities on issues of poverty and job creation. Burnett said Democrats lost the incentive to win votes in places like Monroe County. They've built up voting blocs in large cities – there's no chance they would let that go.
And as many good-paying jobs have left rural areas, they've consolidated in cities and suburbs, drawing the college educated away. Democrats picked up seven Statehouse seats that year, including three state representatives and one state senator representing parts of Franklin County. The other seats were similarly located in more suburban areas outside Cleveland, Cincinnati and Akron.
Mingo, who is Black, had been a rising star in the party and briefly ran for state treasurer. He said Republicans have become more tribal, as have Democrats. Politicians are unwilling to buck the party line and voters don't consider splitting their tickets. Five have made that flip in the past three presidential elections: Mt. Healthy, North College Hill City, Springdale, Springfield Township and Wyoming.

Part of the problem is that the Democrats let the GOP get away with it. They need to go to rural voters and talk to them and win them over. They have the policies. The GOP just sells hate, guns and abortion, they could be easily overcome with work.
Interesting how dems are drawn to urban cesspool,piled on top of each other,while conservatives like fresh air and growing things

I live in Iowa and this is absolutely true. Republicans seem to focus more on farmers and agriculture than Democrats do. The town that I live in, I can count on both hands the amount of people who openly support Biden/Harris, Greenfield, and Scholten.
this is terrible news
Living in Ohio this is absolutely true. I'm one of increasingly rare rural Democrat
Tell them to stay in Ohio. We have enough Ohiolitos in Florida.
