Cleveland Akron, OH, October 7, 2026 — Ohio’s 2024 Attorney General race will feature a statewide debate between the two major party candidates, Democrat John Kulewicz and Republican Keith Faber. The agreement marks the end of a notable period during which statewide debates had not been scheduled for this key contest.

The debate is set to take place on October 19th in Youngstown, Ohio. Specific details regarding the time of the debate, the format, the moderator, and the precise topics to be covered have not yet been publicly released.

The agreement to hold a debate is significant, as it provides voters with an opportunity to directly compare the platforms and visions of the candidates vying for the state’s top legal position. For a period, it appeared that voters might not have had such a direct forum to assess the contenders.

John Kulewicz, the Democratic nominee, and Keith Faber, the Republican nominee, will use this event to articulate their positions on critical issues facing Ohioans. The Attorney General’s office plays a vital role in law enforcement, consumer protection, and legal representation for the state.

The absence of statewide debates in recent political cycles has been a point of discussion among political observers and the public. The scheduling of this Attorney General’s debate in Youngstown indicates a commitment by both campaigns to engage directly with constituents and address broader electoral concerns.

Further information about the debate, including venue specifics and how the public can access the event, is expected to be announced by the campaigns or the organizing entity in the coming weeks. This engagement is anticipated to be a key moment in the lead-up to the November election.
