Voters in Ohio have mixed feelings about who they should elect as governor

Writer's picture: Capitol TimesCapitol Times



A new governor in Ohio could be selected at the May 3 primary election or a career politician who is already in office could be re-elected.


Besides Mike DeWine, there are five other candidates hoping to make the November general election ballot -- Republicans Joe Blystone, Ron Hood and Jim Renacci, and Democrats John Cranley and Nan Whaley.


As always, though, the choice of who will serve as the state's highest political post from 2023 to 2026, or "the lesser of two evils," is up to the voters.


Although many Ohioans are not happy with the way DeWine handled the COVID-19 pandemic involving shutdowns and mask mandates that caused many restaurants to go out of business, or how he’s distanced himself from the Critical Race Theory and cancel-culture movement a bit, there are those who say they continue to support him.


“Mike DeWine has been running for some kind of office ever since I was a kid,” said John Hickman, 46, of Marion County. Hickman is a truck driver and livestock hauler who supports Jim Renacci.


People waiting in long lines to get into Donald Trump's Save America Rally at the Delaware County Fairground near Columbus on April 23 had varied opinions about the candidates they would support.
