snip-"The Ohio Democratic Party sent Spectrum News a statement about the outlook ahead of 2026. “We’re focused on the U.S. Senate race and the down ballot races for 2024, as those races will have significant consequences for Ohio voters,” it read.

Cohen said the Democrats’ strategy for the governor’s seat will likely hinge on Sen. Sherrod Brown’s current run for re-election.

“If he loses, I think if he’s not ready to be done with politics, I think without a doubt, he would consider running for the governor’s office,” Cohen said.

Some other potential Democratic governor candidates include House Minority Leader Allison Russo, former Congressman Tim Ryan, and Judge Jennifer Brunner."
