Ohio: The Heart of it All

Living in northern Ohio, from its eastern industrial centers to its Lake Erie port city, offers a classic Midwestern experience with a strong community feel. The quality of life emphasizes a grounded, family-oriented lifestyle. Residents enjoy all four distinct seasons, with cold, snowy winters and warm summers, supporting local outdoor activities, though less focused on wilderness adventures.

From a reproductive rights perspective, Ohio gets a mixed rating. While abortion is protected up to 20 weeks, there are an array of rules and regulations that limit access, including to minors, and prohibit Medicaid payments.

Ohio’s Congressional Districts 9 and 13 in northern Ohio are both swing districts and Ohio is not only competitive at the House level but also in other federal elections.
