I wonder why they chose not to include the races for Governor, Attorney General, State Auditor, Secretary of State, Treasurer of State, US Senate and State School Board. At first I thought maybe they didn't want to cover the higher office seats but they included the US House of Representatives. Maybe they didn't want to cover the statewide races because it wasn't local enough even though it probably affects us more than the US House race does. Funny they don't cover the state board of education. It is both a lesser office (compared to a senate seat) and a local race. The district is comprised of several counties including Lucas and Wood.

It would be great to see some media outlet include all the races and all the candidates. It looks like there are actually six different candidates running for governor. It is hard to learn much about six candidates when only two get any media coverage.

The Last one is probably the one you want since it is from the League of Women's voters and has all six gubernatorial candidates.

The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce website says
Do you know what candidates are running for what offices in the election? We have compiled a list of all the state and local candidates.
Read more
Visit it, click on "read more" and then come back here and give your opinion of their coverage. Did you notice that it does not list all the state and local candidates as it claims to have done?

It also doesn't have all of the pictures and/or website information on the candidates either.

Hey Adam, why is it do you think they didn't say who is running for the State School Board? Any local School Board race also get ignored by the press! It's LIMBO time, low can you go, not down to the State School Board race for sure.

Att, just click on Sykes and shut the hell up. Name recognition, baby! (Just ask McNamara, who has apparently taken lessons from Copeland.) Har! 8^P
