The resolution adopted by the Ohio House of Representatives addresses the election of Ashley Bryant Bailey to fill the vacancy in the House of Representatives for the 26th District, which was created by the resignation of Sedrick Denson, effective August 8, 2025. According to Section 11 of Article II of the Ohio Constitution, vacancies in the House must be filled by election among members of the same political party as the previous officeholder. As Denson was a Democrat, the resolution confirms that Bailey, also a Democrat, meets the necessary qualifications to serve in this role.

Effective October 1, 2025, Ashley Bryant Bailey is elected to complete the unexpired term of Sedrick Denson, which will end on December 31, 2026. The resolution mandates that a copy be recorded in the House Journal, along with the voting records of the Democratic members, and instructs the Clerk of the House to certify the resolution and its adoption to the Secretary of State.
