With little exception, the Ohio Republicans have held a firm grip on state government: 66 of 99 Ohio House seats, 24 of 33 state senate seats, 12 of 16 seats in Congress, all seven supreme court slots and all five of the statewide executive offices.
Ohio GOP spokesman Blaine Kelly said the Republican ticket, led by gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine, will hold a bus tour sometime later this month.
“We are confident that Ohioans will reject the Democrat’s obstructionist agenda once again, and keep the Buckeye State on the right path,” Kelly said.
DeWine and Cordray just completed the second of three televised debates. The final debate is Monday in Cleveland, the day before voter registration ends and two days before early voting begins.

Cordray acknowledged that the tenor of the debates has been feisty, which he said demonstrates how much he cares about the issues.
“There is a big fork in the road this year for the future of the state,” he said.
