In 2022, Ohio voters will pick a new U.S. Senator to replace Rob Portman who's retiring. Also on the ballot are two state constitutional issues, six statewide executive positions including governor and five seats on the Ohio Board of Education. There are several state supreme court races, all 15 congressional seats, the entire Ohio House of Representatives and half of the Ohio Senate up for grabs. And of course, there are also plenty of local races and issues.
