From now until election day, we’ll be featuring conversations with the candidates for statewide office. For the next two weeks, we're featuring extended interviews with the major party candidates for governor, one of whom will replace term-limited Republican John Kasich. We start in order of date that the interview was conducted.
Republican Mike DeWine is the state attorney general, winning that office by defeating his opponent this fall, Richard Cordray. DeWine has also been a US Senator, lieutenant governor, a US Congressman, state senator and county prosecutor.
Next week – an extended one-on-one interviews with Democrat Richard Cordray.
