Incumbent Republican John Kasich appeared at his first major campaign events in southwest Ohio, where he accepted the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business Ohio.

But as he was talking with journalists, the news broke that the Ohio Republican Party is suing FitzGerald to force him to release the records of key card swipes and his parking card records for the last two years.
