Polls show the Ohio governor’s race between DeWine and Democrat Richard Cordray is tied and analysts rate it a toss up.
The Republicans will end their bus tour in Moraine Friday night at 8 p.m. at The Mandalay, 2700 East River Road.
DeWine pledged that he would keep taxes low and regulations reasonable; invest in early childhood development; improve workforce development; and address the opiate crisis.
He did not mention health care or protecting Ohioans who have pre-existing conditions, such as cancer or diabetes — an area where Democrats are hammering Republicans.
Outside the GOP rally, Democrat Betty Sutton, who is Richard Cordray’s running mate and is following the GOP tour, held a press conference to point out — again — that DeWine opposed the Affordable Care Act, which protects people with pre-existing conditions from losing their health care.
The Ohio Democrats held a statewide bus tour earlier this month.
“It’s all on the line in this election,” said DeWine’s running mate Jon Husted, the current secretary of state.
