CLEVELAND, Ohio – Looking to bring themselves back to the relevance they once held, Ohio Democrats elected Liz Walters as state party chair on Thursday, hoping she can navigate them out of their bleakest political time in decades.
Walters, a Summit County councilwoman, won unanimous support from the party’s executive committee, running unopposed and garnering endorsements from factions that typically find themselves in competition. She is the first woman to be elected chair of the state party.
