Here's our start on the candidates and issues we'll be covering as November draws near. Bookmark this page for updates.

Presidential Election

President Barack Obama (DEM) Vs. Mitt Romney (GOP): Ohio is a huge battleground state, so both presidential candidates will likely be here many times before Election Day. When either Obama or Romney come to Northeast Ohio, be sure that we'll cover it and bring you what you need to know. 

U.S. Senate

Sen. Sherrod Brown (DEM) Vs. Josh Mandel (GOP): You've already seen the commercials, right? This will no doubt be the most contentious and highly publicized statewide race. Like the presidential contest, we'll be bringing this one to you when there's local events to cover.

Ohio Senate

Sen. Tom Patton (GOP) Vs. Jennifer Brady (DEM): Patton will face off against Brady for the 24th Senate District seat, which represents the Hillcrest area.

Ohio Representative

John E. Barnes Jr. (DEM): Barnes was unopposed in Tuesday's primary for the Ohio House 12th District. No Republicans filed to enter the race. Unless a write-in candidate surfaces, Barnes will also be unopposed in the fall general election.

Local Issues

We'll keep an eye on local issues as they crop up and bring you coverage of all the important issues that will be on the ballot this November.
