John Cranley

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

Former Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley says pandemic funds can be used for that purpose.

Cuyahoga County has gone from the most COVID-19 cases per capita in the state to the fewest; Latest campaign finance reports show Gov. Mike has raised $3.3 million; Cleveland partners with NBA to raise its coronavirus vaccination rate to 60% by the end of the year; and more stories.

The two candidates say they will debate. One is ready to make plans, and the other is waiting a bit.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost sues over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for employees of federal contractors; Democrat Shontel Brown is sworn into the House; Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Cranley says he will fire Ohio’s entire utility regulatory board if elected; and more stories.

If politics is, in part, entertainment where the stakes are rather high, the contest between Whaley and Cranley – two political allies and personal friends – may be great fun for political junkies to watch. Or not.

Cranley has been saying he's running for governor for months. But now, he's making it official.
