This Ohio congressional race is in the national spotlight. Voters say it’s more than a test for Democrats


At first glance, the special election in Ohio's 11th Congressional District has all the ingredients for a referendum on the state of the Democratic Party.

Former Ohio Sen. Nina Turner built a national profile working on Bernie Sanders' 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns and is backed by members of the "Squad" in Congress. Shontel Brown, chair of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, secured endorsements from Hillary Clinton, U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty and the mother of former U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge.

The progressive versus the establishment — a tale as old as time. In this case, though, there's more to the story.
