Democrats claimed major victories in Ohio in the 2026 midterm elections, breaking the long-standing Republican supermajority in the Ohio House while gaining ground in the state Senate.

The DLCC worked with state allies in Ohio to identify legislative districts with vulnerable Republican incumbents, key blue seats to protect, and Democratic candidates most likely to win in highly competitive races across the state. 

Ohio Democrats needed a six-seat gain in the state House to break the GOP supermajority that has obstructed progress for over a decade. The DLCC included 11 Ohio candidates in our 2026 Target Races program to help ensure that goal was achieved, and all 11 candidates claimed victory in November.
