AKRON -- Ohio gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine sat down Wednesday with WKYC's former Senior Political Correspondent Tom Beres in the first of a series of interviews with Ohio's gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidates.
Beres discussed topics relevant to voters ahead of the Nov. 6 election. The 45-minute interviews will give Beres and the candidates better opportunity to dive into topics beyond a debate setting.
"The Governor's race is apparently very close, perhaps neck and neck,” Beres said. “Ohio has massive problems -- the gap between unfilled jobs and unskilled workers, the devastating opioid epidemic and five of seven big-city school systems earning an F on report cards. We will discuss them all with Mike DeWine and Richard Cordray as well as their negative campaigns.”
The schedule for each interview is as follows:
Mike DeWine: Oct. 3, 12:30 p.m.
Richard Cordray: Oct. 4, 3 p.m.
Jim Renacci: Oct. 9, 10 a.m.
Sherrod Brown: Oct. 19, 10:30 a.m.
