Antonio Looking Forward to Commencing Ohio Redistricting Commission

Today, Senate Minority Leader and Co-Chair of the Ohio Redistricting Commission Nickie J. Antonio (D-Lakewood) responded to a letter sent by Attorney General Dave Yost calling for the Governor to “reconstitute” the Ohio Redistricting Commission.

“I’m glad that Representative LaRe and I got the ball rolling to schedule the first meeting of the Ohio Redistricting Commission. We followed past practice by calling for the Ohio Redistricting Commission to meet on September 13,” said Antonio.
 
“If the governor and my fellow members of the commission decide that the way to proceed is to start from scratch, and ‘reconstitute’ the Commission, I look forward to the three statewide hearings as required by the Ohio Constitution to hear from Ohioans and then completing our work in an efficient and effective manner, because that is what the people of Ohio deserve.”
