Making Sense of the Midterms

The day after Ohio voters choose a new governor, decide a nationally-consequential U.S. Senate race, and weigh candidates for Congress, the Statehouse, county offices, and the courts, we bring together experts to unpack what just happened—and why.

Who turned out, which messages broke through, which polls and pundits got it wrong, and what can we expect the winners to deliver?

Join us for a fast-moving, candid post-election roundtable as we move beyond the speeches by the victors and concessions by the losers (hopefully) to examine what the midterm election results mean for Central Ohio, our state, the balance of power in Washington, and democracy’s future.

Featuring Catherine Turcer, Executive Director, Common Cause Ohio; Mark Weaver, National Political Commentator, Author, and Political Strategist, with moderator Mike Thompson, Chief Content Director, Radio, and Host of “Columbus on the Record,” WOSU Public Media. Additional panelists to be announced.
