Joe Blystone

Ohio Gubernatorial Republican and Democratic candidates sit down with the Statehouse News Bureau to talk about pressing issues in the state.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has ordered county election boards to remove Ohio House and Senate races from the May 3 primary ballot as the legal fight over redistricting continues; attorneys representing FirstEnergy investors name the officials behind the nuclear bailout scandal; Akron is installing 28 speed tables; and more stories.

The Democratic mayor of Dayton, a two-time candidate for the post, so far faces Republican opponent Joe Blystone, a business owner and farmer. Gov. Mike DeWine says he will run for re-election.
