Latest News
Keith Faber is in the news as the Republican candidate in the 2026 Ohio attorney general race against Democrat John Kulewicz. A recent commentary says his position on whether he would continue the FirstEnergy bribery prosecution has become a key campaign issue, and he has not clearly committed to keeping the case alive if elected.
