We have it pretty bad when the leading contestant for governor in Tennessee is Marsha Marsha Marsha. This year the Democrats have a great opponent in Jerri Green.
Alabama has it worse in the contest between Doug Jones, Democrat, and Tommy Tuberville, Republican. I mean really, how can Alabama Republicans justify electing Tuberville. Oh, yeah. He was a football coach.
Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly will face off in the 2026 Florida governor's race.
But, then there is the Ohio governor's race. Wow! Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign "confirmed that it produced the ad and would spend $4 million to air it in the state." "Ohio’s bitter governor’s race got even uglier Tuesday when an attack ad surfaced featuring Democratic nominee Amy Acton’s long-estranged mother calling her daughter “a liar,” prompting Acton’s brother to accuse Acton’s Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, of turning childhood rape “into a political talking point.” Democrat Amy Acton responds with "Her experiences shaped her values, compassion and her "belief that every person deserves to be safe, to be heard, and to have a fair chance at a better life," she continued."
Some of the worst campaigns ever. Vote! Vote! Vote!
