Ohio AG Yost to resign, opening vacancy for DeWine’s appointee
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is resigning to take a private-sector job, leaving state government after 25 years with about eight months left in his second term. Gov. Mike DeWine would fill the vacancy with a temporary appointment, potentially triggering a broader GOP reshuffle as other statewide offices are contested or repositioned; Yost had previously pursued a run for governor but exited the race in 2025.
