COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — Each election cycle, millions of dollars are spent on campaigns for candidates and issues alike. This year, there is one issue on the packed 2024 ballot led by a group called Citizens not Politicians that has brought in millions of dollars in support.
Citizens not Politicians is a coalition that wants to reform the way district maps are drawn in Ohio, by taking that authority away from politicians, who, in many cases rely on those district lines for re-election. Voters will decide whether they want to do that come November, but in the meantime the group is busy raking in money to get their message out.

More than $23 million has been raised by the collation from Jan. 1 to July 25, according to the July campaign finance report filed on the Secretary of State’s website.
“That is a very impressive demonstration of the support that there is for this amendment,” Spokesperson for Citizens not Politicians Chris Davey said.
