Richard Cordray, the former Consumer Financial Protection Agency chief will be the Democratic nominee for governor. Cordray will have Betty Sutton, a former Democratic U.S. lawmaker who lost to a Republican. She will be his running mate.
The odds are against the Democrats. Rejuvenated polls show Donald J. Trump is climbing in popularity. He is in the mid-40s. The enthusiasm gap for Democrats got to stay hot. Cause we can get rid of these Republicans if we get out and vote.
Cordray will face his opponent. The opponent beat him back in 2014 for the pick as Attorney General. Now the two will face each other in November.
Republican nominee for governor Mike DeWine is a pathetic choice. He is a fixture in Ohio politics. He is from Cedarville, Ohio.

I want to make this clear, I will not support him or Jon Husted, the Ohio Secretary of State who will be his running mate.
DeWine held back evidence in the 2014 fatal police shooting of Jonathan Crawford. The fatal shooting by Beavercreek Police of Crawford was inside Walmart. When people demanded the video surveillance to be released, DeWine sat on it until the grand jury acquitted the cop.
The fatal shooting of Sam DuBose was sat on as well. Even with all the evidence of the cop shooting him after a petty traffic stop, DeWine allowed a jury to not convict this cop. The cop was a University of Cincinnati cop who was out of his area when this happened.
Lastly in the fatal shooting of Tamir Rice, DeWine sided with the local prosecutors. Tamir was playing with a toy gun when a cop shot him within two seconds. The shooting of Tamir Rice was given to a grand jury. The cop walks. DeWine sided with the police. The cop had lack of experience and was fired in other areas. This was the Cleveland Police.
I can't support DeWine. He is inept as an attorney general.
