CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Women across the country won primaries this year. That's changing the way the Democratic Party is thinking about its message, Politico reports.
In Ohio, six Democratic women won contested congressional primary bids, according to the Associated Press. These women face a tough road to victory in the fall; all but one of the districts are safe Republican bets, according to the University of Virginia's Center for Politics Sabato Crystal Ball. The outlier is a likely Republican district.
Here's a rundown of the Democratic women challengers running for Congress in Ohio. The election and district information was compiling using cleveland.com and Associated Press election results, and the Ohio secretary of state's website.
