Ohio Has a Supreme Court and It's on the Ballot: Judge Marilyn Zayas
Tuesday, 1 September, 2026

In episode 195, we sit down with Judge Marilyn Zayas to unpack a race that’s important but often overlooked: the Ohio Supreme Court. She breaks down what’s really at stake on the state’s highest court, and why she’s stepping up to run for it.Judge Marilyn Zayas is a highly respected Ohio judge. For nearly ten years she has served at Ohio’s Court of Appeals, a court that is directly below the Supreme Court of Ohio. This year she is running for the Ohio Supreme Court. Raised in a tough neighborhood plagued by drugs and crime by parents who migrated from Puerto Rico, she learned the value of hard work, integrity, and service from an early age.Judge Zayas has decided thousands of cases across Ohio. She faithfully determines cases on the Constitution, the law and independent of political influence. Last year, she was selected by the Chief Justice to replace a recused justice at our Ohio Supreme Court, three times in a 40-day window, an unprecedented honor.As the first Latina elected to any Ohio Court of Appeals, she embraces the responsibility of serving as a role model and mentor to others. Since 2017 she has hosted over 2,000 students at her Educating Tomorrow’s Leaders Program, teaching students about Ohio’s courts and inspiring them to dream big. Her judicial excellence and community contributions have earned national recognition.Resources: * Judge Zayas’ Campaign Website* Social Media: * Instagram* FacebookWe’re bringing together digital creators from across the state to build a powerful digital organizing network called Ohio Creators for Progress.
