GOVERNOR'S RACE
99.0% of votes counted
Mike DeWine (I) 514,374 votes 48.1%

Ron Hood 22,212 votes 2.1%
When you add up the votes for the three candidates running against DeWine you get this:
Anti-DeWine vote 554,443 51.9%
What does this show us? It shows us that if we would have consolidated our backing onto ONE candidate, ONE, we could have defeated DeWine and we would have a better republican running this November.
No matter what DeWine says, the votes against him were larger than the votes for him.
We had a common purpose, to defeat Mike DeWine in the governor's primary, and put forth a candidate that would follow the Ohio Constitution and the federal Constitution. Someone who would look out for the people of Ohio against federal government overreach and who would work to put Ohio first, not the aims of the federal government. We don't know how well Renacci would have done but we know he would've been better than DeWine!
