Gay rights icon Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the landmark 2015 case that legalized same-sex marriage across the country, is running for a seat in the Ohio House. Obergefell, a Democrat, moved back to his hometown of Sandusky in 2021, putting him in the 89th House District, held by Republican D.J. Swearingen. Even if the district lines change through redistricting, Obergefell said he wants to serve his hometown of Sandusky in the Legislature. Obergefell said, "Knowing of the corruption in the Ohio Statehouse and my experience fighting for others and fighting for what's right, I just realized that I need to be part of making things better. I need to be part of fighting for everyone. I have to be part of making things better."
