Ohio Democrats pick former Cleveland-area rep as new party chair

Portage County is in the northeastern part of the state near Cleveland.

In a statement, Clyde said, “Already, Ohioans are fed up with Republicans as they push a budget that prioritizes special interests and their billionaire backers while working families fall behind. I’m grateful to Ohio Democrats for putting their trust in me during this critical election cycle, and I’m looking forward to getting to work.”
