“We saw a historic turnout on the Democratic gubernatorial primary, higher voter turnout," Clyde said in an interview. "The highest voter turnout that we've seen since 2006, which was a strong year for Democrats, winning all of the statewide offices except for one.”

Clyde said the party has been out talking to voters in all 88 counties, including in areas where it hasn’t been strong, including rural areas and cities where support has dropped off in recent years.

“We are staffing up, we have staff deployed around the state, and we'll be increasing that presence, doing a strong field operation, voter protection, data and operations, and doing the work to get our message out to voters all across the state," Clyde said, noting 20 staff members have been hired—most from Ohio—and more will be. "We are welcoming Republicans, independents, and Democrats, to, this campaign. Our message is not a necessarily a partisan one. We are working to lower costs for Ohio families and get our state turned around."
