The 1992 United States Senate election in Ohio was held on November 3, 1992. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator John Glenn defeated Republican Lieutenant Governor (and current Governor) Mike DeWine to win re-election to a fourth term,[1] coinciding with the presidential election. Glenn's voting percentage of 51% represented the worst performance of his four runs for the Senate, likely due to the presence of third-party candidate Martha Grevatt of the far-left Workers World Party. DeWine would later be elected to Ohio's other Senate seat in 1994 and served with Glenn until the latter's retirement in 1999. As of 2020, this is the last time a Democrat has won the Class 3 Senate Seat from Ohio.

Campaign

DeWine's campaign focused on the need for change and to introduce term limits for senators. This would be Glenn's fourth term as senator.[2] DeWine was also critical of Glenn's past campaign debts. His campaign used a bunny dressed as an astronaut beating a drum, with an announcer saying, "He just keeps owing and owing and owing", a play on the Energizer Bunny.[3]

Glenn's campaign noted DeWine's pro-life leanings, and that he flip-flopped on his opposition of term limits. Glenn also said that DeWine was a career politician and was just looking for another job in politics.[3]

gollark: I'm having trouble remembering where important tabs are.

gollark: Hmm. It is possible that having 800 tabs open is not an entirely optimal workflow.
