With less than three months until the Nov. 3 general election, voters will decide races that could significantly reshape state government — and the environment in which cities and villages advocate for local priorities.

Control of the governor’s office, the size of Republican majorities in the Ohio House and Senate, several statewide offices and a closely watched U.S. Senate seat are all on the ballot.
