Hillary Clinton Carries Upper Arlington

Although we are all disappointed with the overall results, for the first time ever, a Democrat carried Upper Arlington in a presidential election. In UA, Hillary beat Donald Trump by almost 15 points and by over 3,300 votes. She also carried over 90% of the UA precincts. Certainly, your efforts, and those of other UA Progressives, contributed to this historic local election result.

As you can see from the chart below, down ticket candidates did not fare as well with Upper Arlington voters. We all know about the $45 million spent against Ted Strickland in the race for the US Senate seat. The US House, Ohio Senate and Ohio House districts that include Upper Arlington continue to be heavily gerrymandered to favor Republicans. These issues will continue to be problematic as we look toward 2018.
