Dan Troy

Rep. Dan Troy is an experienced Democratic lawmaker representing Ohio’s 23rd House District, running for reelection in November. Dan has dedicated his career to public service in local government including in the Ohio House, and as a Lake County commissioner. His campaign and work in the statehouse are focused on bipartisan problem-solving, property tax relief, protecting Lake Erie, infrastructure investment, and support for working families and local communities across Lake and Cuyahoga counties.

Dan is an experienced campaigner who successfully defended his seat in 2022 and 2024 by close margins, and this year, support from the DLCC and Democrats nationwide will help ensure he can protect this highly competitive district again.

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.
