Description

This Monday, we cohosted our quarterly(ish) WTF is Going on the Ohio Statehouse?! presentation with our friends at Red Wine & Blue, and have repurposed the presentation as a special episode of the Ohioans Against Extremism Podcast.

We are joined by a handful of our favorite topic experts to debrief the 2025 election results and discuss pending pieces of legislation at the Ohio Statehouse. Here are the slides (with links) from Monday’s presentation.

We focus on the worst of the worst legislation under consideration, so don’t take this presentation as an all-inclusive list of the bills that we care about. And make sure to listen all the way to the end to hear about a few more bills some of our allies are paying attention to.

For a fuller overview of alllll of the bills we’re watching, check out our tracker, OhioBills.WTF.
