On March 10, 2021, Marcia Fudge resigned her seat in the United States House of Representatives after being confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Biden administration. Governor Mike DeWine has set the primary date for August 3 and the general election date for November 2, concurrent with the special election in Ohio's 15th congressional district.[1][2]

Democratic primary

By early January 2021, former state senator Nina Turner, Cuyahoga County Council member Shontel Brown, and former Cleveland City Council member Jeff Johnson had all announced their candidacies. Turner has been perceived as the progressive candidate in the race, while Brown is considered a moderate.[3] Johnson portrays himself as ideologically between the other two.[3]

By mid-February 2021, former state senator Shirley Smith and former state representative John E. Barnes Jr. had entered the primary. Turner and Brown were considered the front-runners at this point, with Turner having raised $650,000 to Brown's $40,000.[4] Upon entering the race, Smith attacked Turner for her ties to left-wing activist groups and Brown for her ties to the Cuyahoga County "machine", while Barnes touted his legislative experience.[5] On February 19, The Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com Editorial Team called on Brown to resign as Cuyahoga County Democratic Party chair in order to avoid conflicts of interest, and to "restart the process of amassing local endorsements from scratch" as a candidate and not a "powerful local chair."[6]

By the time the United States Senate confirmed Fudge as HUD secretary, two more candidates had entered the race: Bryan Flannery, a former state representative, and Tariq Shabazz, who ran in the Democratic primary for OH-11 in 2020.[7] The candidates in the Democratic primary have a noted geographical divide: The 11th district, which is heavily gerrymandered, is split roughly evenly between Cuyahoga and Summit Counties, but six of the seven candidates were from Cuyahoga County, Flannery being the only exception.[7] Flannery withdrew from the race in early May, citing family issues.[8]

By mid-June, Seth Richardson of The Plain Dealer considered Turner the sole front-runner, as expected support for Brown's campaign had not materialized.[9] Turner has often been called the "frontrunner" in local and national media.[10] In late June, several senior and more moderate Democrats publicly announced their support for Brown; these endorsements were noted as resulting in large fundraising hauls for Turner,[11] but they caused Brown to rise substantially in the polls, though her fundraising totals remained behind Turner's.[12] In July, Brown was referred to the Ohio Ethics Commission over allegations made in an article in The Intercept that she had used her influence to award government contracts to campaign donors.[13] It has been revealed that Brown faked the endorsement of Garfield Heights Councilman Michael Dudley, who instead opted to endorse Turner. [14] In the days leading up to the special election, many national figures came to last-minute campaign events. Figures such as Jim Clyburn, current house majority whip, Democratic representative for South Carolina's 6th congressional district, and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, campaigned for Brown as figures such as Bernie Sanders, the junior senator from Vermont, 2016 and 2020 contenter of the democratic nominations for the President of the United States, and House Budget Chairman, campaigned for Turner. [15]

David Weigel of The Washington Post said Brown's campaign was trying to make the special election "a referendum on supporting the Biden administration" but that Brown's lack of substance on what she would do in Congress "has become a sticking point in the primary".[16] Due to the fragmented nature of the field, it was considered unlikely that any candidate would get 50% of the vote, which resulted in heavy campaigning in Summit County, home to Akron, as the traditionally overlooked pool of voters there were considered a potential swing factor.[17]
