Excitingly, state politicians from Ohio are members of the American Irish State Legislators Caucus, founded in 2021 at the height of Irish American lobbying about the effects of Brexit on Northern Ireland. State House member Lauren McNally of Youngstown used her American Irish State Caucus connections to pass Ohio law establishing the Ohio Ireland Trade Commission in August 2025.A great place to refresh Irish American political advocacy further is to ask our legislative representatives to join their appropriate Irish Caucus. In Columbus this past St. Patrick’s Day, Mayor Ginther and City Council both announced declarations calling on the Irish Republic to actively prepare for a possible Re-Unification vote in Northern Ireland. Our Congressional legislators at both the State and National level should also be educated on the issues and importance of America’s role as protector of the Good Friday Agreement.
