Anti-gerrymandering campaign drawing big cash from inside, outside Ohio
COLUMBUS — The massive effort to dramatically change how Ohio redraws congressional and legislative districts raked in a whopping $23 million during the first half of this year and spent every dollar to qualify for the ballot and lock up advertising time. And as the opposition has frequently predicted, it is drawing millions from national organizations from outside Ohio. The largest single check, $6 million, was cut by the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a left-leaning, Washington-based non-profit “dark money” corporation. Article IV, a Virginia-based non-profit corporation, gave just under $3 million; the Tides Foundation, of San Francisco, $2 million; the Our American Future Foundation, of Washington, just under $2.5 million; the Movement Voter Project, of Massachusetts, just over $1 million; and the National Education Association, of Washington, $1 million. From within the state, the Ohio Education Association has given $1.55 million and the Ohio Progressive Collaboration, $1.5 million.
