Ohio Gubernatorial Race

Gov. Mike DeWine and Nan Whaley, the Republican and Democratic nominees for Ohio governor, find themselves on opposite ends of the abortion debate heading into November.

The Republican and Democratic candidates who won the gubernatorial primary have very different views on the issue of abortion.

Incumbent Ohio Governor Mike DeWine wins the Republican nomination for Ohio governor, defeating three other candidates who criticized DeWine and his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Democratic candidates for Ohio Governor will debate Tuesday night at Central State University.

The office said the money collected by political newcomer Joe Blystone violated limits on cash donations and bans on corporate contributions.

Two of the four Republican candidates declined to participate.

Tickets are also now available to attend the debates in person on March 28-29 at Central State University in Wilberforce.

So far, the sitting governor is so far the only candidate to decline to appear at a debate set for March 29.

Challengers who underestimate Mike DeWine do so at their own peril.

Central State University will serve as the host site for the debates on March 28 and 29.
