'Voters will be ready for a change.' Ohio Democratic Party sets sights on winning 2026 elections

Coming off the heels of winning local races, the Ohio Democratic Party is feeling optimistic about the 2026 election.

Democratic mayors in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Toledo all won reelection on Nov. 4.

“Our mayors are a model of what Democratic leadership can look like and represent the future of our party,” Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde said during a virtual press call Wednesday.

Ohio voters will cast their ballot for a new governor in 2026, along with all of Ohio’s other statewide executive offices, as all current officeholders are term-limited. That includes Ohio secretary of state, attorney general, auditor, and treasurer.
