两名前自由党州长候选人为基西克背书 俄亥俄州州长选战现第三选项
2026年10月22日，俄亥俄州自由党发布新闻稿称，该党两名前州长候选人查理·厄尔（2014年候选人）和特拉维斯·欧文（2018年候选人）正式背书今年的自由党州长候选人唐·基西克。
欧文表示，今年的州长选战气氛日趋激烈，基西克始终专注于数据中心、车牌识别摄像头、房产税等俄亥俄人关心的议题，并呼吁对两大党候选人失去支持或尊重的选民考虑基西克。厄尔则称基西克主张精简、讲求成本效益的政府，反对过度征税和浪费。
俄亥俄州自由党同时指出，按照2013年通过的州法律，基西克必须在今年州长选举中拿到至少3%的总选票，自由党才能保住今后的选票列名资格。今年俄亥俄州州长选举的主要对手为民主党的艾米·阿克顿和共和党的维韦克·拉马斯瓦米，选举日为11月3日。

Two Former Libertarian Nominees Endorse Kissick, Giving Ohio Governor's Race a Third Option
On October 22, 2026, the Libertarian Party of Ohio announced in a news release that two of its former gubernatorial nominees — Charlie Earl (2014) and Travis Irvine (2018) — have formally endorsed this year's Libertarian candidate for governor, Don Kissick.
Irvine said this year's governor's race has grown increasingly heated, while Kissick has stayed focused on issues Ohioans care about, such as data centers, license plate reader cameras and property taxes, and he urged voters who have lost support or respect for the two major-party candidates to consider Kissick. Earl said Kissick stands for streamlined, cost-effective government and opposes excessive taxation and waste.
The party also noted that under a state law passed in 2013, Kissick must win at least 3 percent of the total vote in this year's gubernatorial election for the Libertarian Party to retain its ballot access going forward. The major-party candidates in this year's Ohio governor's race are Democrat Amy Acton and Republican Vivek Ramaswamy; Election Day is November 3.
