COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Redistricting Commission has introduced and is expected to pass a bipartisan map on Friday, one that makes the districts lean more red but still keeps races relatively competitive.

The map makes several changes to key races. Reps. Emilia Sykes of District 13 in Northeast Ohio, Marcy Kaptur of District 9 in Northwest Ohio and Greg Landsman of District 1 in Southwest Ohio have been the top GOP targets, according to Republican party leaders.
