The Ohio governor’s race this November features two major-party candidates with no prior elected experience.

Whoever wins will be one for the history books: Republican Vivek Ramaswamy would be the first Indian American elected as Ohio governor or Democrat Amy Acton would be the first woman elected to the position.

Add to that huge stakes politically as the midterms indicate how Americans truly feel about the trajectory of the country.

Today, we’ll hear from Vivek Ramaswamy, the self-made biotech billionaire, on why he’s running and his priorities if voters elect him on Nov. 3.

Note: All Sides also has an interview scheduled with Acton. We will bring you that interview soon. Be sure to keep listening to All Sides with Amy Juravich so you don't miss it.

School leaders in central Ohio could feel pretty good about the marks they received on the state’s annual report card of achievement.

In Franklin County, the average star rating was above 3.5. Some districts, like Upper Arlington and New Albany, boasted 5 stars.

The state’s largest district, Columbus City Schools, beset with challenges from literacy rates to chronic absenteeism, also celebrated a half-star increase.

Today, we’re digging through the data, for a truer picture of how Ohio’s schools are doing. Because not every district had reasons to celebrate. And even those that did, had room for improvement.

Plus, how does Ohio stack up to the rest of the nation?
