This year’s primary featured a recording setting $10 million dollar battle on the Republican side, with Attorney General Mike DeWine coming out on top with a double digit victory against Lt. Gov.

Gov. John Kasich had a message for both his fellow Republican and the Democrat who were winners in yesterday’s primary for governor – saying he wants them to preserve his two most high profile legacy acts.
