COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Gov. Mike DeWine is set to deliver his annual, and second to last, State of the State address on Wednesday.
The governor will address a joint session of the Ohio General Assembly beginning at noon on Wednesday. DeWine is expected to tout many of his accomplishments from last year, like growing the state's Dolly Parton Imagination Library, implementing career planning into graduation requirements, passing legislation requiring districts to ban cell phone use during school hours, and expanding care for mental health by installing mobile response stabilization services in additional Ohio counties.
Wednesday's speech will mark DeWine's second to last address, as the governor is term limited and is barred from seeking reelection in 2026. Watch live coverage of the address beginning at noon in the video player above.
Next year's gubernatorial race has already begun, with billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy on the campaign trail to earn the Republican nomination. He is joined in that primary by Morgan County business owner Heather Hill and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. On the Democratic side, only former Ohio Health Director Amy Acton has announced her candidacy.
DeWine's accomplishments of the last year also include elevating his former lieutenant governor, now Sen. Jon Husted, to the U.S. Senate seat previously held by Vice President JD Vance in the wake of his election to the White House alongside President Donald Trump.
To replace Husted, DeWine picked former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel as the state's new lieutenant governor. Tressel could shake up the gubernatorial race and also seek the Republican nomination. When asked by NBC4 about his future in Ohio politics, Tressel said he's been too busy to contemplate a campaign, but didn't rule out a run for the governor's mansion.
