Ohioans head to the voting booth Nov. 8 for one of the most consequential midterm elections in recent memory. Among the many significant decisions voters must make is who will lead the state’s executive branch as governor for the next four years.

We are closing the digital divide so that all Ohioans have access to high-speed internet services, which will create opportunity for generations.
