Sean Soendker Nicholson, the new director of Citizens Not Politicians, ran a successful redistricting-reform effort in Missouri in 2018, and then narrowly lost a related campaign in 2020.
Sean Soendker Nicholson, director of Citizens Not Politicians, the campaign pushing a redistricting reform amendment for the November 2024 ballot, as seen in a web conference on Thursday, Sept. 28.COLUMBUS, Ohio — The campaign backing an Ohio redistricting reform effort targeting the November 2024 ballot has hired a Democratic political consultant with highly relevant experience working on similar measures in Missouri.
Republicans, who control Ohio’s redistricting process thanks to their victories in the 2022 election, are likely to oppose the amendment, arguing that the commission wouldn’t truly remove politics from the redistricting process, which must occur at least every decade to reflect population changes. They already began rallying around a message that Ohio’s redistricting process works after the commission’s two Democrats joined Republicans last week in approving bipartisan state legislative maps.
In 2018, the Missouri redistricting amendment, proposed by citizens groups, passed 62% to 38%, while Republican challenger Josh Hawley defeated the state’s then-Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, 51% to 46%, according to Ballotpedia, an open-source elections website.
“We know very clearly from across the country that Republican voters don’t like being gerrymandered any more than Democratic voters and in between,” he said.
