The 2014 Ohio gubernatorial election will take place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of Ohio. Incumbent Republican Governor John Kasich is running for re-election to a second term in office.
Kasich is considered vulnerable as reflected in his low approval ratings.[citation needed] The consensus among The Rothenberg Political Report[1] is that the contest is a "tossup".
Background
John Kasich, who was elected with Tea Party support in 2010, has faced a considerable backlash from the movement. His decision to accept the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid, his increased spending, taxation of fracking on Ohio farmland and his perceived failure to go far enough on charter schools and school vouchers have seen Tea Party groups refuse to support his re-election campaign.[2] When Kasich passed over Tea Party leader Tom Zawistowski for the position of Executive Director of the Ohio Republican Party, in favour of Matt Borges, who worked with a gay rights group, that was seen as the final straw.[3] Tea Party groups have announced that they will support a primary challenger, or, if none emerges, the Libertarian nominee. Zawistowski said, "John Kasich is going to lose in 2014. We don’t care who else wins."[4]
