Toledo Free Press Voter’s Guide 2026: May Primary

*Created with our media partner, WTOL11. Find their original article here. The May 5 primary election is almost here, so we are covering what you need to know prior to voting. Early voting has already begun, as you can learn more about in Jaden Jefferson‘s story, “Ohio’s 2026 Primary Election: 3 things to know.” Below is a list of statewide races, along with races and issues specific to Lucas County. This is a primary election, meaning voters do not choose between all parties in the same race like in a general election. Instead, voters pick from candidates within the same party and the winner advances to the general election in November.  Additionally, TFP has included links to stories that get into more detail about the candidates and local issues. This resource will be updated regularly as we interview more of the candidates.
