Democrat Sherrod Brown, Republican Incumbent Jon Husted, and Libertarian William Redpath will face off for a seat in the U.S. Senate in November.
Husted and Redpath both ran uncontested.
Brown was challenged by Ron Kincaid (D).
As previously reported, in early 2025, Gov. Mike DeWine appointed Lt. Gov. Husted to fill Vice President JD Vance’s seat in the Senate.
Husted has previously served as an Ohio State representative, Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, Ohio State Senator, and Lieutenant Governor.
Brown has previously served as an Ohio State representative, Secretary of State of Ohio, Congressman for Ohio’s 13th District, and a Senator.
He lost his seat in the Senate to Republican Bernie Moreno in 2024.
Redpath has served two terms as the former Chairman of the Libertarian National Convention and is one of 14 inductees into the Libertarian Party’s Hall of Liberty.
He’s run for office as a Libertarian candidate eight times, including the Virginia House of Delegates, the Virginia Senate, Governor, U.S. Senate, and US House, 10th District of Virginia, according to his campaign website.
The general election will take place on November 3, 2026.
