The William McKinley Monument is silhouetted in front of the west side of the Ohio Statehouse, Monday, April 15, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio.

You’ve probably been hearing about the 2026 Congressional midterm elections for months now.

But the Tri-State’s new year in politics has more to watch than just those races.

There’s a gubernatorial election in Ohio, a new state budget to debate in Kentucky and big revenue news in Indiana, plus loads of bills for state lawmakers to consider that could have an impact on families’ day-to-day lives.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss what to watch with journalists covering the region’s statehouses.

Guests:

  • Karen Kasler, bureau chief, Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau
  • Sylvia Goodman, Capitol reporter, Kentucky Public Radio
  • Niki Kelly, editor-in-chief, Indiana Capital Chronicle

Beginning at noon, call 513-419-7100 or email talk@wvxu.org to have your voice heard on this topic. You can catch a recorded replay at 8 p.m.
