Last month, Leader Antonio said she wouldn’t support maps that “put the people’s interests last.” ‼️Now she’s reportedly considering a deal with Republicans for a 12 - 3 map — the exact opposite of what Ohioans asked for. We deserve leaders who put us first. #FairMaps #Ohio

Earlier this month, Leader Isaacsohn called Ohio’s 11–4 map “a gerrymander.” ‼️Now he’s cutting a deal with Republicans for a 12–3 map, even more rigged. You can’t call it unfair one week and sign off the next. Ohioans deserve #fairmaps, not sellouts. #ohio

Over a dark blue background, there is a photo of Ohio House Minority Leader Dani Isaacsohn. Above him there is a quote in dark blue and purple letters on white backing that reads “The idea that we would even consider further gerrymandering a state that's already one of the most gerrymandered maps in the country just adds insult to injury.” Under that, next to the photo of Representative Isaacsohn, there is text in light blue letters that reads “Don’t Settle. Don’t Cheat.” Below all of this is a purple blurb that looks like torn paper with the text “Ohio House Minority Leader Dani Isaacsohn” to indicate the above quote is from him.
