[Usili]

So apparently with Cordray starting off his campaign in Cincinnati, both P.G. Sittenfeld and Aftab Pureval have endorsed him for Governor, with former Representative Steve Driehaus also endorsing him.

[Usili]

So uh, apparently Cincinnati City Councilwoman Amy Murray is apparently supposed to be named as Renacci's running mate, with it being reported here: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics-extra/2017/12/06/px-amy-murray-poised-join-trump-aligned-ohio-gsets-her-sights-columbus-plans-jump-into-statewide-rac/928655001/

[Usili]

And apparently O'Neill is resigning from the Ohio Supreme Court to stay in: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2017/12/07/ohio-supreme-court-justice-bill/929930001/

[Usili]

And Amy Murray is Renacci's running mate as Lieutenant Governor.

[Usili]

So apparently Kucinich seems like he's going to be announcing a run for Governor: http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2018/01/dennis_kucinich_files_paperwor.html

[Usili]

So Nan Whaley is apparently on the way out per Jeremy Pelzer: https://twitter.com/jpelzer/status/951137463191375873

As a slight addition onto that, do we have anyone challenging Turner or not?

[Usili]

And Whaley is apparently going to be in an announcement with Cordray tomorrow, which is apparently going to be dropping out of the race and endorsing Cordray-Sutton per Jessie Balmert: https://twitter.com/jbalmert/status/951507445398065155

In thinking about the uh, spending side of Cordray's campaign...

How the hell has he only spent $1,200 on it?

[Usili]

And Connie Pillich is dropping out and set to endorse Cordray for the governorship.

[Usili]

So apparently 1984 Society did another poll, this time on the primary, here: http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2018/04/new_poll_shows_richard_cordray.html

Cordray leads Kucinich 27.5-12.6%, with 50.5% undecided.

DeWine leads Taylor 43.2%-25.9%, with 30.9% undecided.

[Usili]

So the New York Times did an article on the race, with the Washington Post doing a more generic one of the gubernatorial races. The Washington Post article was uh... really surprising with a specific quote from the article I'm going to share:
