The 2018 Ohio gubernatorial election will take place on November 6, 2018, to elect the next Governor of Ohio, concurrently with the election of Ohio's Class I U.S. Senate seat, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various Ohio and local elections. Incumbent Republican Governor John Kasich is term-limited and cannot seek reelection to a third consecutive term.
Ohio Attorney General and former U.S. Senator Mike DeWine, civil rights attorney and former Green Party co-chair Constance Gadell-Newton, filmmaker and journalist Travis Irvine, and former Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director and Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray will face off in the general election. This will be the second face off for DeWine and Cordray, following their face off in the 2010 election for Attorney General where DeWine won by a narrow 48%-46%.
