Seeking his third term representing Ohio in the U.S. Senate, Democrat Sherrod Brown is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Ohio Secretary of State and member of the Ohio House of Representatives. The Mansfield native is expected to face Republican Josh Mandel in the November 2018 election. Mid-Ohio Progressives, a local group that formed earlier this year, will also have redistricting reform petitions available for signing. MOP is working with the coalition trying to get a constitutional amendment that would eliminate or greatly reduce partisan gerrymandering in Ohio on the ballot.
