Why this race matters
Governor Mike DeWine is finishing his final term. Vivek Ramaswamy is the heavy favorite with endorsements from both President Trump and the Ohio Republican Party. He faces Heather Hill and Casey Putsch; with Trump's backing, Ramaswamy is expected to cruise through, potentially setting up a general election against Democrat Amy Acton (former state Health Director).
