![]() Voters finally have an opportunity to give the Senate feedback on their sham redistricting proposal SJR 5, which does nothing to stop partisan gerrymandering. There will be two hearings for opposition testimony: Tuesday at 2:30 pm and Wednesday at 9:45 am (with a possible vote afterwards) in the Senate Finance Hearing Room. (room 126S on this map - easiest entry is from 3rd St, then up the stairs). If you are willing to testify, please RSVP using this link so that we can plan accordingly. You will also need to provide Drew.Hawking@ohiosenate.gov with an electronic copy of your testimony no later than 24 hours before committee. Let's give them an earful of why this proposal does not amount to REAL reform. Looking for inspiration? Read today's editorial the Cleveland Plain Dealer, which said the 'Blatantly skewed Ohio GOP congressional redistricting "reform" plan belongs in the trash." Got five minutes? Call members of the Senate Committee that will be hearing this bill next week and let them know you OPPOSE SJR 5. Chairman Bill Coley - (614) 466-8072 Vice Chair Joe Uecker [pronounced EEK-er] - (614) 466-8082 Senator Kevin Bacon - (614) 466-8064 Senator Troy Balderson - (614) 466-8076 Senator Bob Peterson - (614) 466-8156 Senator Kris Jordan - (614) 466-8086 Senator Frank LaRose - (614) 466-4823 Senator Matt Huffman - (614) 466-7584 Talking points may include:

We are grateful to the Common cause Ohio. the lawmakers should be granting voters some benefits as well. The SJR5 is totally against the minorities treating them as a mere part of the society.
