Will you help us do something meaningful—right here in Ohio?

Last week, we launched our 12-day push to reach 2,000 Flyover investors, and we are now only 200 away from the finish line. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to support The Ohio Flyover, this is it.

Your investment today doesn’t just help The Flyover nationally—it directly fuels our growth in Ohio: our audience, our coverage, and our Ohio team.

Will you stand with The Ohio Flyover by investing today? We’re looking for 10 Ohio readers to step up and become investors—your investment, along with other fellow Ohioans, will ensure we meet our 2,000-investor goal.

Will you be one of them?

Why Invest in The Ohio Flyover?

1. Grow the Ohio newsroom and impact.
Your investment helps us expand the Ohio team, deepen our coverage, and reach more readers across the state.

2. Keep it reader-owned.
We believe Ohioans—not corporations—should shape the news they rely on.

3. Low minimum, big impact.
We’ve lowered the minimum to $500, making it easier for more Ohioans to become co-owners of the journalism they trust.

4. Protect honest reporting.
Your support keeps us independent, fact-first, and focused on fair, balanced coverage for Ohio communities.

A Quick Note

When we launched The Ohio Flyover, we hoped the state would embrace a trustworthy, unbiased source of news. We didn’t expect so many of you to stand with us. But today, over 59,000 Ohioans get their daily news from The Ohio Flyover.

Your investment in The Ohio Flyover will send a clear message: honest journalism still matters here.

We’re 200 investors away from 2,000 reader-owners, and Ohio’s shares are just 10 reader-investors. Stepping up now could put us over the top.

Will you help us grow The Ohio Flyover and hit this milestone?

National Guard Deployment Extended

Gov. Mike DeWine said the 150 National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C., will have their deployment extended to Feb. 28, 2026.

Ohio troops were sent to the nation’s capital in August after President Trump began using federal law enforcement to reduce crime in Washington.

DeWine previously agreed to extend the National Guard deployment through Nov. 30. He said the state has been rotating Guard members and will continue to do so, saying: “People have lives and they have families and they have jobs.”

DeWine added that none of the deployed Guard members work in law enforcement, so as not to affect local police and sheriffs’ offices.

Mercy Health, Humana Strike Deal

Southwest Ohio-based Mercy Health reached an agreement with Humana ahead of the Dec. 1 deadline, preserving patients’ access to Mercy Health hospitals, urgent cares, and other services.

The hospital system and the insurer have been negotiating for months. Specific terms of the agreement haven’t been released.

Mercy Health facilities will also remain in network for patients with managed Medicaid plans and Medicare Advantage coverage through Humana.

Medicare open enrollment runs through Dec. 7, with any changes taking effect Jan. 1, 2026.

Iconic Cleveland Home up for Award

The Cleveland house featured in A Christmas Story has been nominated for USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice list of the best historic holiday home tours in the U.S.

Located in the Tremont neighborhood, the Victorian home has been restored to match its movie decor, and the museum across the road showcases memorabilia from A Christmas Story. Year-round tours are offered with options for overnight stays.

One other Ohio house was nominated: Stan Hywet Hall in Akron, which was built by F.A. Seiberling, the co-founder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber. It’s the nation’s sixth-largest historic home open to the public.

Voting closes in less than two weeks, and you can cast your ballot here.
