Michele Reynolds

Republican Ohio Senator for District 3, defending the most competitive Franklin County seat in the state legislature in 2026.

Key facts

  • Won the seat in 2022 with 52.7%, unseating Democratic incumbent Tina Maharath — a narrow win that makes SD-3 a top Democratic target.
  • District 3 spans the southern and southeastern half of Franklin County plus Madison and Pickaway counties — the suburban and exurban ground where the region's competitive races are decided.
  • 2026: faces Democrat Stacie A. Baker in the marquee local legislative race.

Connections

  • Her seat is the barometer for the same suburban Franklin County turf that makes OH-15 and House districts 6, 10, and 11 worth watching. Part of Columbus 2026 Elections.
