Episode Synopsis

Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams welcome back Jen Miller, Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Ohio (LWVO). Our first repeat guest, in this episode Jen breaks down everything voters need to know about Ohio’s 2024 Issue 1 ballot campaign “Citizens Not Politicians.”

Self-described as “fiercely nonpartisan,” the LWVO has been at the forefront of fighting gerrymandering in Ohio for well over 100 years. Jen helps Kelley and Rev. Terry cut through the hype with history and hard facts, laying out why Citizens Not Politicians is supported by Republicans, Democrats, and Independents across Ohio & why a Yes on 1 is so important to Ohioans this year.
