COLUMBUS– Ohio House Minority Leader and Redistricting Commission member Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) issued a statement in response to a federal three judge panel’s decision regarding state legislative districts:

“Tonight, the federal court showed that they do not appreciate the Republican commissioners passing the buck,” said Leader Russo. “The federal court gave us another six weeks to draw state legislative maps. Meanwhile, the state Supreme Court directed us to produce constitutional maps by May 6. We have work to do, and we need to start now. We have the time, resources, and ability to do this right. We will not quit. We will never stop fighting for Ohioans’ freedom to vote in fair districts.”
