Candidates and their campaigns are announcing agreed upon debate schedules as the November 6th General Election is approaching. The Ohio Debate Commission, a nonpartisan group of media outlets, academic institutions and civic organization, has been instrumental in the negotiations between campaigns to schedule debates. The Ohio Debate Commission was formed early in 2018 to provide a framework for Ohio candidates to debate since candidates have been more unwilling to debate in recent years. Several other community organizations have partnered to host debates/forums. Videos will be posted as soon as available.
