The primary battle to choose a Republican to square off against incumbent U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, will produce a candidate for one of the most watched mid-term matchups in the nation. It got a whole lot more interesting when Treasurer Josh Mandel dropped out in January. This hour, we'll meet one of the candidates, businessman Mike Gibbons, who is battling U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, the candidate endorsed by President Trump. Later, more on FirstEnergy's plans to shutter its Ohio nuclear plants, and the impact on the grid and the local economy. Finally, Cleveland's Russo brothers do it again with their new "Avengers: Infinity War" blockbuster.

Guests:
-Mike Gibbons, Candidate, U.S. Senate, Republican
-Andy Chow, Reporter, Ohio Public Radio Statehouse News Bureau
-Dan Troy, Lake County Commissioner
-Michael Sangiacomo, Reporter, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
