It's incredibly important that we focus on the Ohio Supreme Court race, as the decisions made by this court can impact everything from reproductive rights to voting laws in our state. Having progressive judges like Lisa Forbes on the bench could ensure that our rights are protected and that the court can serve as a check on any conservative overreach in the state legislature. This race doesn't get the attention it deserves, but the impact of its outcome could be monumental, especially for marginalized communities. It's a reminder that every election, not just the presidential ones, has the power to shape our daily lives and the legal landscape we navigate.
