The Asian American and Pacific Islander population is the fastest growing demographic in Ohio. But we are under-represented. We have been mailing questionnaires to AAPI voters throughout Ohio, asking about their experiences as AAPI citizens in our state, top of mind issues, and if they plan to vote in 2024.
The AAPI Research Group and Engagement Team - Ohio (TARGETOHIO) believes in the collective power of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. AAPI Ohioans must be included as an integral part of our democracy—civically engaged, politically active, and voting in record numbers. TARGETOHIO will serve as the vehicle for delivering the AAPI political voice.
