Megan Coy

Megan Coy is a registered nurse and Olmsted Falls councilwoman running to flip a seat in the Ohio House this November. As a registered nurse, Megan has seen how Ohio’s health care system is failing communities like hers, and is ready to step up as their champion in Columbus. A tireless advocate for the community, Megan lives by the mantra that the people are the boss. She’s committed to transparency, communication, and honesty in her work on the city council and will carry that commitment to the statehouse if elected.

A favorable environment for Democrats nationwide in 2026 and the support of the DLCC’s Target Races program put Megan in an excellent position to flip District 17 blue and help expand Democratic power in the Ohio House.

After over 15 years of Republican trifecta control of the Ohio state government, 2026 is a historic opportunity to build Democratic power in the General Assembly and break the long-standing GOP supermajority in the Ohio House.

The DLCC has worked with state allies in Ohio to identify legislative districts with vulnerable Republican incumbents, key blue seats to protect, and Democratic candidates most likely to win in highly competitive races across the state. 

Ohio Democrats need a gain of just six seats in the state House to break a Republican supermajority that has obstructed progress for over a decade and rubber-stamped disastrous MAGA policies that have eroded personal freedoms, disenfranchised voters, and driven up the cost of living for all Ohioans.

This year, Democrats are running in ninety-seven of ninety-nine state House districts in Ohio. Now is the time to rally behind Democratic candidates who are ready to bring the fight to Republicans and challenge their grip on power in the Buckeye State.
